The tyrant is a child of Pride Who drinks from his sickening cup Recklessness and vanity, Until from his high crest headlong He plummets to the dust of hope.
He who throws away a friend is as bad as he who throws away his life.
I have no desire to suffer twice, in reality and then in retrospect.
Of all human ills, greatest is fortune's wayward tyranny.
Ignorant men do not know what good they hold in their hands until they've flung it away.
Kindness is ever the begetter of kindness.
