Oh child, may you be happier than your father, but in all other respects alike. And then you would not be bad.
It is God's giving if we laugh or weep.
Every man can see things far off but is blind to what is near.
A man who deals in fairness with his own, he can make manifest justice in the state.
For no one loves the bearer of bad tidings.
If they are just, they are better than clever.
