When the bad imitate the good, there is no knowing what mischief is intended.
Man has been lent, not given, to life.
He is truly wise who gains wisdom from another's mishap.
The highest condition takes rise in the lowest.
A friend must not be injured, even in jest.
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.
