The reward of a thing rightly done is to have done it.
The stupid fear fortune, the wise endure it.
The tears of an heir are laughter under a mask.
The will cannot be compelled.
Those who are once found to be bad are presumed so forever.
To condemn by a cutting laugh comes easily to all.
To have nothing is not poverty.
To relax the mind is to lose it.
To win a war quickly takes long preparation.
Unless what we do is useful, glory is vain.
Vice is nourished by concealment.
Vices creep into our hearts under the name of virtue.
We hate whom we have injured.
We lose the certain things, while we seek the uncertain ones.
We start to die when we are born, and the end depends on the beginning.
What is viler than to be laughed at?.
What is worthwhile must needs be difficult.
What soberness conceals, drunkenness reveals.
What you think of yourself is much more important than what others think of you.
Who loses honor can lose nothing else.
Who loves me loves my dog.
