He who, when he hath the power, doeth not good, when he loses the means will suffer distress. There is not a more unfortunate wretch than the oppressor; for in the day of adversity nobody is his friend.
Do good even to the wicked; it is as well to shut a dog's mouth with a crumb.
The rose and the thorn, and sorrow and gladness are linked together.
A grateful dog is better than an ungrateful man.
He who is indifferent to the suffering of others is a traitor to that which is truly human.
If thou art of elephant-strength or of lion-claw, still peace is, in my opinion, better than strife.
