Without courage, wisdom bears no fruit.

The greatest wisdom often consists in ignorance.

True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island... to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing.

Quit while you're ahead. All the best gamblers do.

A single lie destroys a whole reputation of integrity.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.
