For in this strange anatomy we wear, the head has greater powers than the hand; the spirit, heart, and mind are over all.
Yield to him who opposes you; by yielding you conquer.
Happy is he who dares courageously to defend what he loves.
There is no such thing as pure, unalloyed pleasure; some bitter ever mingles with the sweet.
Our neighbour's crop is always more fruitful and his cattle produce more milk than our own.
The brave find a home in every land.
