Everyone ought to bear patiently the results of his own conduct.
From Phaedrus
An alliance with a powerful person is never safe.
Gentleness is the antidote for cruelty.
Things are not always as they seem; the first appearance deceives many.
Whoever is detected in a shameful fraud is ever after not believed even if they speak the truth.
In outward show so splendid and so vain; 'tis but a gilded block without a brain.
The mind ought sometimes to be diverted that it may return to better thinking.
Success tempts many to their ruin.
A learned man has always riches in himself.
The intelligence of few perceives what has been carefully hidden in the recesses of the mind.
