The good things of prosperity are to be wished; but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired.

God is near you, is with you, is inside you.

He, who decides a case without hearing the other side, though he decides justly, cannot be considered just.

Let the man, who would be grateful, think of repaying a kindness, even while receiving it.

Choose as a guide one whom you will admire more when you see him act than when you hear him speak.

Fear drives the wretched to prayer

Expediency often silences justice.
