Bad company corrupts good character.
From Menander
Let bravery be thy choice, but not bravado.
I call a fig a fig, a spade a spade.
He who labors diligently need never despair; for all things are accomplished by diligence and labor.
The man who runs may fight again.
Riches cover a multitude of woes.
'Know thyself' is a good saying, but not in all situations. In many it is better to say 'know others.'
Marriage, if one will face the truth, is an evil, but a necessary evil.
Culture makes all men gentle.
The chief beginning of evil is goodness in excess.
