Rare as is true love, true friendship is rarer.
From Jean de La Fontaine
Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.
Beware, so long as you live, of judging men by their outward appearance.
Sadness flies away on the wings of time.
In short, Luck's always to blame.
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.
A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.
We read on the foreheads of those who are surrounded by a foolish luxury, that fortune sells what she is thought to give.
Never sell the bear's skin before one has killed the beast.
Patience and time do more than strength or passion.
