Wheresoever we seek our own, there we fall from love.
Our own opinion of ourselves should be lower than that formed by others, for we have a better chance at our imperfections.
Whoever puts his confidence in men or in any creature is very foolish.
Without labor there is no rest, nor without fighting can the victory be won.
No man ruleth safely but he that is willingly ruled.
Remember, your prerogative is to govern, and not to serve the things of this world.
