Whoever gives advice to a heedless man is himself in need of advice.
Great God, have pity on the wicked, for thou didst everything for the good, when thou madest them good!
I have never seen a man lost who was on a straight path.
Use a sweet tongue, courtesy, and gentleness, and thou mayest manage to guide an elephant by a hair.
A man of virtue, judgment, and prudence speaks not until there is silence.
No one ever sowed the grain of generosity who gathered not up the harvest of the desire of his heart.
