A cunning fellow is man, inventive beyond all expectation, he reaches sometimes evil and sometimes good

The oaths of a woman I inscribe on water.

There is a time when even justice brings harm.

Heaven never helps the man who will not help himself

Of no mortal say, 'That man is happy,' till vexed by no grievous ill he pass Life's goal.

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

What you can't enforce, do not command.
