Laws that only threaten, and are not kept, become like the log that was given to the frogs to be their king, which they feared at first, but soon scorned and trampled on.

There is a time for some things, and a time for all things; a time for great things, and a time for small things.

Let the worst come to the worst.

The ass bears the load, but not the overload.

Never look for birds of this year in the nests of the last.

Fortune may have yet a better success in reserve for you and they who lose today may win tomorrow.

A Man Without Honor is Worse than Dead.
