He that cannot endure the bad will not live to see the good.
If deeds are wanting all words appear mere vanity and emptiness.
The net of the sleeper catches fish.
When the gods are angry with a man they give him what he asks for.
A heart that loves is always young.
We must endure what fortune sends.
In times of difficulty friendship is on trial.
A truth spoken before its time is dangerous.
He who would be happy should stay at home.
Gray hair is a sign of age not of wisdom.
Whatever is good to know is difficult to learn.
The beginning is half of every action.
Better the friend we can see than the money we cannot.
Nothing will content him who is not content with a little.
It is easier to talk than to hold one's tongue.
It is better in times of need to have a friend rather than money.
