An advantage of poverty, your relatives gain nothing by your death

The court is most merciful when the accused is most rich

Slander slays three persons: the speaker, the spoken to, and the spoken of

The best way to know a man is to watch him when he is angry

Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide

Opinions founded on prejudice are always sustained with the greatest violence

Pride is the mask we make of our faults

Poverty is a wonderful thing. It sticks to a man after all his friends have forsaken him.

Who seeks more than he needs hinders himself from enjoying what he has

Whoever teaches his son teaches not alone his son but also his son's son, and so on to the end of generations
