One finds many companions for food and drink, but in a serious business a man's companions are very few.
He who mistrusts most should be trusted least.
To many men well-fitting doors are not set on their tongues.
Not to be born at all would be the best thing for man.
Surfeit begets insolence, when prosperity comes to a bad man.
Restrain thy mind, and let mildness ever attend thy tongue.
