A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.
A great fortune is a great slavery.
A large part of mankind is angry not with the sins, but with the sinners.
A man who suffers before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary.
A person's fears are lighter when the danger is at hand.
A quarrel is quickly settled when deserted by one party; there is no battle unless there be two.
A sword never kills anybody; it is a tool in the killer's hand.
As long as you live, keep learning how to live.[24]
