Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm.
— Publilius Syrus
It is only the ignorant who despise education.
The miser is as much in want of what he has as of what he has not.
You are in a pitiable condition if you have to conceal what you wish to tell.
Some remedies are worse than the disease.
From the errors of others, a wise man corrects his own.
He who lives in solitude may make his own laws.
It is folly to punish your neighbor by fire when you live next door.
It is better to learn late than never.
It is a good thing to learn caution from the misfortunes of others.
Each day is the scholar of yesterday.
The opportunity is often lost by deliberating.
Take care that no one hates you justly.
Practice is the best of all instructors.
It is a bad plan that admits of no modification.
What is left when honor is lost?
Do not despise the bottom rungs in the ascent to greatness.
It is kindness to immediately refuse what you intend to deny.
Let a fool hold his tongue and he will pass for a sage.
We are born princes and the civilizing process makes us frogs.
To do two things at once is to do neither.
