A broad-backed ox can be driven straight on his road even by a small goad.
To him who is afraid, everything rustles.
Stubbornness and stupidity are twins.
A man is nothing but breath and shadow.
Heap up great wealth in your house, if you wish, and live as a tyrant, but, if the enjoyment of these things be lacking, I would not buy the rest for the shadow of smoke as against happiness.
Whatever God has brought about Is to be borne with courage.
