Profit is sweet, even if it comes from deception.
To throw awayan honest friend is, as it were, to throw your life away.
Nobody likes the man who brings bad news.
Who seeks shall find.
A fool cannot be an actor, though an actor may act a fool's part.
Fortune raises up and fortune brings low both the man who fares well and the one who fares badly; and there is no prophet of the future for mortal men.
