A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety.
He that is discontented in one place will seldom be happy in another.
We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.
You may share the labours of the great, but you may not share the spoil.
The injuries we do and those we suffer are seldom weighed in the same scales.
Faithful are the wounds of a friend but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
He that always gives way to others will end in having no principles of his own.
If you allow men to use you for your own purposes, they will use you for theirs.
I will have nought to do with a man who can blow hot and cold with the same breath.
