The wise man is seldom prudent.
You can sink so fast that you think you are flying.
The poor never estimate as a virtue the generosity of the rich.
Have patience with the quarrelsomeness of the stupid. It is not easy to comprehend that one does not comprehend.
Happy slaves are the bitterest enemies of freedom.
We are valued wither too highly or not high enough; we are never taken at our real worth.
