No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
The injuries we do and those we suffer are seldom weighed in the same scales.
Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.
United we stand, divided we fall.
We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.
A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth.
The little reed, bending to the force of the wind, soon stood upright again when the storm had passed over.
Please all, and you will please none.
Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties.
Injuries may be forgiven, but not forgotten.
