He whose wisdom cannot help him, gets no good from being wise.

He whose wisdom cannot help him, gets no good from being wise

He who civilly shows the way to one who has missed it, is as one who has lighted another's lamp from his own lamp; it none the less gives light to himself when it burns for the other. [Lat., Homo qui erranti comiter monstrat viam, Quasi lumen de suo lumine accendit, facit: Nihilominus ipsi luceat, cum illi accenderit.]

He hath freedom whoso beareth clean and constant heart within.

Here is he laid to whom for daring deed, nor friend nor foe could render worthy meed.

Whom men fear they hate, and whom they hate, they wish dead. [Lat., Quem metuont oderunt, quem quisque odit periisse expetit.]
