Opportunity is lost by deliberation.
Fortune is like glass - the brighter the glitter, the more easily broken.
Even a single hair casts its shadow.
Learn to see in another's calamity the ills which you should avoid.
Other people's things are more pleasing to us, and ours to other people. -Aliena nobis, nostra plus aliis placent
We must give lengthy deliberation to what has to be decided once and for all.
