It is common to forget a man and slight him if his good will cannot help you.

That man is worthless who knows how to receive a favor, but not how to return one.

A man with courage has every blessing.

No man will be respected by others who is despised by his own relatives.

All men love themselves.

The man who masters his own soul will forever be called conqueror of conquerors.

Let a man who wants to find abundance of employment procure a woman and a ship: for no two things do produce more trouble if you begin to equip them; neither are these two things ever equipped enough.

I trust no rich man who is officiously kind to a poor man.

Man proposes, God disposes.
