The greater a man is in power above others, the more he ought to excel them in virtue. None ought to govern who is not better than the governed.
It is foolish to fear what you cannot avoid.
The friendship that can come to an end, never really began.
Great hatred can be concealed in the countenance, and much in a kiss.
It is as well now and then not to remember all we know.
Depend not on fortune, but on conduct.
