No one should be judge in his own cause.
It is only the ignorant who despise education.
They pass peaceful lives who ignore mine and thine.
Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them.
The greatest of empires, is the empire over one's self.
Avarice is as destitute of what it has, as what it has not.
Either be silent or say something better than silence.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
As men, we are all equal in the presence of death.
Every one excels in something in which another fails.
The anger of lovers renews the strength of love.
Life is short, but its ills make it seem long.
An agreeable companion on a journey is as good as a carriage.
What happens to one man may happen to all.
For him who loves labor, there is always something to do.
We may with advantage at times forget what we know.
Never find your delight in another's misfortune.
Never promise more than you can perform.
No man is happy who does not think himself so.
