We are valued wither too highly or not high enough; we are never taken at our real worth.
Those whom we support hold us up in life.
The poor man wishes to conceal his poverty, and the rich man his wealth: the former fears lest he be despised, the latter lest he be plundered.
Do not fear the ones who argue, but rather those who are evasive.
He who says patience, says courage, endurance, strength.
If you have one good idea, people will lend you twenty.
