It is customary these days to ignore what should be done in favour of what pleases us.

How great in number are the little minded men

All good men and women should be on their guard to avoid guilt, and even the suspicion of it.

If you say hard things you must expect to hear them in return.

In misfortune if you cultivate a cheerful disposition you will reap the advantage of it.

He who bravely endures evils, in time reaps the reward.

Let deeds match words.
