The tallest Trees are most in the Power of the Winds, and Ambitious Men of the Blasts of Fortune.
Choose a friend as thou dost a wife, till death separate you.
Avoid flatterers, for they are thieves in disguise.
We are too careless of posterity; not considering that as they are, so the next generation will be.
Naked Truth needs no shift.
Let the people think they govern and they will be governed.
