A trifle is often pregnant with high importance; the prudent man neglects no circumstance.

Let a man nobly live or nobly die.

Whoe'er imagines prudence all his own, Or deems that he hath powers to speak and judge Such as none other hath, when they are known, They are found shallow.

Remember, nothing succeeds without toil.

Though a man be wise it is no shame for him to live and learn.

Strike at a great man, and you will not miss.

Old age and the passage of time teach all things.
