The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

A good name is rather to be chosen than riches.

That, who keeps his mouth, keeps his Soul.

To gain riches is wise; to pay for riches with happiness is foolish.

Love is strong as the Death; jealousies are as cruel as the tomb.

The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.
