The man who has experienced shipwreck shudders even at a calm sea.
Love is an affair of credulity.
Forbear to lay the guilt of a few on the many.
What is harder than rock, or softer than water? Yet soft water hollows out hard rock. Persevere.
Envy, the meanest of vices, creeps on the ground like a serpent.
Nothing is swifter than our years.
