He who is most on his guard is often himself taken in.
Men understand the worth of blessings only when they have lost them.
The man who masters his own soul will forever be called conqueror of conquerors.
He is a friend indeed who proves himself a friend in need.
The woman who has the best perfume is she who has none.
To a well deserving person God will show favor. To an ill deserving person He will simply be just.
