Courage is to take hard knocks like a man when occasion calls.
If you strike the goads with your fists, your hands suffer most.
The evil that we know is best.
If you do anything well, gratitude is lighter than a feather; if you give offense in anything, people's wrath is as heavy as lead.
Things we do not expect, happen more frequently than we wish.
If you squander on a holyday, you will want on a workday unless you have been sparing.
