The Bell never rings of itself; unless some one handles or moves it it is dumb.
He who tries to protect himself from deception is often cheated, even when most on his guard.

Even the whole of life is not sufficient for thorough learning.
Disgrace is immortal, and living even when one thinks it dead.
He who has in due season become rich, unless he saves in due season, will in due season starve.
