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