O wise man, wash your hands of that friend who associates with your enemies.
Court the society of a superior, and make much of the opportunity; for in the company of an equal thy good fortune must decline.
Inflict not on an enemy every injury in your power, for he may afterwards become your friend.
The hand of liberality is stronger than the arm of power.
A peace-mingling falsehood is preferable to a mischief-stirring truth.
I have never seen a man lost who was on a straight path.
