Patience and time do more than strength or passion.
A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.
Rare as is true love, true friendship is rarer.
Let ignorance talk as it will, learning has its value.
Beware, so long as you live, of judging men by their outward appearance.
Death never takes the wise man by surprise, he is always ready to go.
It is impossible to please all the world and one's father.
By the work one knows the workman.
Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.
Sadness flies away on the wings of time.
Everyone believes very easily whatever they fear or desire.
