A man with courage has every blessing.
A mouse does not rely on just one hole.
The prudent man really frames his own fortunes for himself.
There's no such thing, you know, as picking out the best woman: it's only a question of comparative badness, brother.
It is the nature of the unfortunate to be spiteful, and to envy those who are well to do.
Consider the little mouse, how sagacious an animal it is which never entrusts its life to one hole only.
