Know this, that troubles come swifter than the things we desire.
He that would eat the nut must crack the shell.
To snatch the worm from the trap.
I regard that man as lost, who has lost his sense of shame.
Vulgarity of manners defiles fine garments more than mud.
For enemies carry about slander not in the form in which it took its rise . The scandal of men is everlasting; even then does it survive when you would suppose it to be dead.
