Ignorant men don't know what good they hold in their hands until they've flung it away.
From Sophocles
There is no witness so terrible and no accuser so powerful as conscience which dwells within us.
Look and you will find it - what is unsought will go undetected.
It is terrible to speak well and be wrong.
Much wisdom often goes with fewest words.
The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities.
Enemies' gifts are no gifts and do no good.
Not to be born is, past all prizing, best.
It is the merit of a general to impart good news, and to conceal the truth.
One who knows how to show and to accept kindness will be a friend better than any possession.
