Make no friendship with an elephant keeper If you have no room to entertain an elephant
Do good even to the wicked; it is as well to shut a dog's mouth with a crumb.
No reliance can be placed on the friendship of kings, nor vain hope put in the melodious voice of boys; for that passes away like a vision, and this vanishes like a dream.
A handsome woman is a jewel; a good woman is a treasure.
Be sure, either that thou art stronger than thine enemy, or that thou hast a swifter pair of heels.
A dog will never forget the crumb thou gavest him, though thou mayst afterwards throw a hundred stones at his head.
