The wavering mind is but a base possession.
The best of seers is he who guesses well.
Luckier than one's neighbor, but still not happy.
The lucky person passes for a genius.
Chance fights ever on the side of the prudent.
No one who lives in error is free.
Joint undertakings stand a better chance when they benefit both sides.
God hates violence. He has ordained that all men fairly possess their property, not seize it.
In misfortune, which friend remains a friend?
Prosperity is full of friends.
Among mortals second thoughts are wisest.
Slight not what's near through aiming at what's far.
There is the sky, which is all men's together.
Love makes the time pass. Time makes love pass.
No one is happy all his life long.
Human misery must somewhere have a stop; there is no wind that always blows a storm.
Authority is never without hate.
Better a serpent than a stepmother!
The bold are helpless without cleverness.
Some wisdom you must learn from one who's wise.
