Surely, to think your own the only wisdom, and yours the only word, the only will, betrays a shallow spirit, an empty heart.

Who seeks shall find.

It is better not to live at all than to live disgraced.

There is no sense in crying over spilt milk. Why bewail what is done and cannot be recalled?

None love the messenger who brings bad news.

Troubles hurt the most when they prove self-inflicted.

In a just cause the weak will beat the strong.
