There's no such thing, you know, as picking out the best woman: it's only a question of comparative badness, brother.

Man proposes, God disposes.

Courage is its own reward.

For enemies carry about slander not in the form in which it took its rise . The scandal of men is everlasting; even then does it survive when you would suppose it to be dead.

To a well deserving person God will show favor. To an ill deserving person He will simply be just.

Never speak ill of an absent friend.

That man is worthless who knows how to receive a favor, but not how to return one.
