No gratitude from the wicked
We can easily represent things as we wish them to be
Wit has always an answer ready
Do not provide your enemy with the means for your own destruction
Outside show is a poor substitute for inner worth
It is easy to be brave from a safe distance
Wealth unused might as well not exist
Train up a child in the way he should go
The gods help them that help themselves
United we stand, divided we fall
It is not only fine feathers that make fine birds
Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow
We would often be sorry if our wishes were gratified
Union gives strength
It is useless attacking the insensible
The strong and the weak cannot keep company
Clumsy jesting is no joke
Any excuse will serve a tyrant
Self-conceit may lead to self-destruction
No one should blow hot and cold with the same breath
Kindness effects more than severity
Never soar aloft on an enemy's pinions
Distrust interested advice
It is easy to propose impossible remedies
