What valor cannot win, flattery may.

Humility means accepting reality with no attempt to outsmart it. -David Richo A rolling stone can gather no moss

All powerful is the rule of fashion.

He who flees from trial confesses his guilt.

It is a good thing to learn caution from the misfortunes of others.

God looks with favor at pure, not full, hands.
