Thus each person by his fears gives wings to rumor, and, without any real source of apprehension, men fear what they themselves have imagined.

How blind men are to Heaven's gifts!

Deny a strong man his due, and he will take all he can get.

Believing nothing does whilst there remained anything else to be done.

There stands the shadow of a glorious name.

Poverty, the mother of manhood. Also, the mother of prostitution.

The prosperous man does not know whether he is loved.
