Every man can see things far off but is blind to what is near.
Remember, nothing succeeds without toil.
God will not punish the man Who makes return for an injury.
To many men much-wandering hope comes as a boon, but to many others it is the deception of vain desires.
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.
It becomes one, while exempt from woes, to look to the dangers.
