Say nothing but good of the dead.
Speech is the mirror of action.
Chide a friend in private and praise him in public.
What thou seest, speak of with caution.
If through your vices you afflicted are, Lay not the blame of your distress on God; You made your rulers mighty, gave them guards, So now you groan 'neath slavery's heavy rod.
No man is happy; he is at best fortunate.
