Be temperate in your drinking, remembering that too much wine cannot keep either a secret or a promise.

Arms are my ornaments, warfare my repose.

True courage lies in the middle, between cowardice and recklessness.

Take away the motive, and you take away the sin.

All persons are not discreet enough to know how to take things by the right handle.

Every dog has his day.

Make yourself honey and the flies will devour you.
