People who make no noise are dangerous.

Nothing is as dangerous as an ignorant friend; a wise enemy is to be preferred.

Be advised that all flatterers live at the expense of those who listen to them.

People must help one another; it is nature's law.

Anyone entrusted with power will abuse it if not also animated with the love of truth and virtue, no matter whether he be a prince, or one of the people.

Those who make the worst use of their time are the first to complain of its shortness.
