If things are going well, religion and legislation are beneficial; if not, they are of no avail.

In giving advice seek to help, not to please, your friend.

Wealth breeds satiety, satiety outrage.

Seek to learn constantly while you live; do not wait in the faith that old age by itself will bring wisdom.

Justice, even if slow, is sure.

He who has learned how to obey will know how to command.

Chide a friend in private and praise him in public.
