When a rose dies, a thorn is left behind.
Tis not always in a physician's power to cure the sick; at times the disease is stronger than trained art.
The cause is hidden; the effect is visible to all.
Calumny ever pursues the great, even as the winds hurl themselves on high places.
In prosperity you may count on many friends; if the sky becomes overcast you will be alone.
Pluck with quick hand the fruit that passes.
