The worst hatred is that of relatives.
In stirring up tumult and strife, the worst men can do the most, but peace and quiet cannot be established without virtue.
Men are more ready to repay an injury than a benefit, because gratitude is a burden and revenge a pleasure
Candor and generosity, unless tempered by due moderation, leads to ruin.
Remedies are more tardy in their operation than diseases.
If we must fall, we should boldly meet our fate.
