Now I see that going out into the testing ground of men it is the tongue and not the deed that wins the day.
Man is not constituted to take pleasure in the same things always.
Fortune is not on the side of the faint-hearted.
Things gained through unjust fraud are never secure.
Time alone reveals the just man; but you might discern a bad man in a single day.
It is always fair sailing, when you escape evil.
