Now that another is suffering pain at thy hand, trust not that thy heart shall be exempt from affliction.
Be not so severe as to cause shyness, nor so clement as to encourage boldness.
Whoever has his foe at his mercy, and does not kill him, is his own enemy
When you see contention amongst your enemies, go and sit at ease with your friends; but when you see them of one mind, string your bow, and place stones upon the ramparts.
A wise man among the ignorant is as a beautiful girl in the company of blind men.
Pride thyself on what virtue thou hast, and not on thy parentage.
