 The man who has experienced shipwreck shudders even at a calm sea. |
| How little is the promise of the child fulfilled in the man. |
| All love is vanquished by a succeeding love. |
| Make the workmanship surpass the materials. |
| Happy are those who dare courageously to defend what they love. |
| Thou seest how sloth wastes the sluggish body, as water is corrupted unless it moves. |
| Endure and persist; this pain will turn to good by and by. |
| Blemishes are hid by night and every fault forgiven; darkness makes any woman fair. |
| Most safely shall you tread the middle path. |
| A prince should be slow to punish, and quick to reward. |
| First appearance deceives many. |
| Fortune and love favor the brave. |
| Time is the devourer of all things. |
| You can learn from anyone even your enemy. |
| Nowadays nothing but money counts: a fortune brings honors, friendships; the poor man everywhere lies low. |
| People are slow to claim confidence in undertakings of magnitude. |
| Love and dignity cannot share the same abode. |
| Let your hook be always cast. In the pool where you least expect it, will be fish. |
| Whether they give or refuse, it delights women just the same to have been asked. |
| Time, the devourer of all things. |
