The best cure for anger is delay.

The worst evil of all is to leave the ranks of the living before one dies.

The pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man. It is more powerful than external circumstances.

It is not poverty that we praise, it is the man whom poverty cannot humble or bend.

No one can long hide behind a mask; the pretense soon lapses into the true character.

There is no evil that does not offer inducements. Vices tempt you by the rewards which they offer.

He who would do great things should not attempt them all alone.
