There are many wild beasts on land and in the sea, but the beastliest of all is woman.
All men have one refuge, a good friend, with whom you can weep and know that he does not smile.
At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool.
By associating with wise people you will become wise yourself.
Nothing is more useful than silence.
Of all the wild beasts of land or sea, the wildest is woman.
