All I know is that so long I am asleep I am rid of all fears and hopes and toils and glory, and long live the man who invented sleep, the cloak that covers all human thirst.
A closed mouth catches no flies.
Forewarned, forearmed; to be prepared is half the victory.
Not with whom you are born, but with whom you are bred.
A bad year and a bad month to all the backbiting bitches in the world!.
There is nothing so subject to the inconstancy of fortune as war.
