The blush is beautiful, but it is sometimes convenient.
From Carlo Goldoni
Pretexts are not wanting when one wishes to use them.
He only half dies who leaves an image of himself in his sons.
Noble bold is an accident of fortune; noble actions characterize the great.
The world is a beautiful book, but of little use to him who cannot read it.
A wise traveler never depreciates their own country.
He who talks much cannot talk well.
He who never leaves his country is full of prejudices.
