Man's worst ill is stubbornness of heart.
Who feels no ills, should, therefore, fear them; and when fortune smiles, be doubly cautious, lest destruction come remorseless on him, and he fall unpitied.
Heaven ne'er helps the men who will not act.
To women silence gives their proper grace.
I write a woman's oaths in water.
Whoever grows angry amid troubles applies a drug worse than the disease and is a physician unskilled about misfortunes.
