Fortune cannot aid those who do nothing.
When people fall in deep distress, their native sense departs.
There is no sense in crying over spilt milk. Why bewail what is done and cannot be recalled?
Time alone reveals the just man; but you might discern a bad man in a single day.
One's own escape from troubles makes one glad; but bringing friends to trouble is hard grief.
Those griefs smart most which are seen to be of our own choice.
