The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions.

Iron rusts from disuse; stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.

As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.

He who thinks little, errs much.

Reprove your friend in secret and praise him openly.

Wisdom is the daughter of experience.

Life well spent is long.

He who wishes to be rich in a day will be hanged in a year.

It is easier to resist at the beginning than at the end.

He who walks straight rarely falls.
