The stronger always succeeds.
Things we not hope for often come to pass than things we wish.
It is sheer folly to take unwilling hounds to the chase.
In grasping at uncertainties we lost that which is certain.
Feast today makes fast tomorrow
A good disposition I far prefer to gold; for gold is the gift of fortune; goodness of disposition is the gift of nature. I prefer much rather to be called good than fortunate.
