Much effort, much prosperity.

Slight not what's near through aiming at what's far.

No one is happy all his life long.

The greatest pleasure of life is love.

God hates violence. He has ordained that all men fairly possess their property, not seize it.

Luckier than one's neighbor, but still not happy.

Silence is true wisdom's best reply.

Human misery must somewhere have a stop; there is no wind that always blows a storm.

Some wisdom you must learn from one who's wise.

Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.

Leave no stone unturned.

Events will take their course, it is no good of being angry at them; he is happiest who wisely turns them to the best account.

Whoso neglects learning in his youth, loses the past and is dead for the future.

No one can confidently say that he will still be living tomorrow.

New faces have more authority than accustomed ones.

Those whom God wishes to destroy, he first makes mad.

Ignorance of one's misfortunes is clear gain.

Danger gleams like sunshine to a brave man's eyes.

Do not consider painful what is good for you.

To persevere, trusting in what hopes he has, is courage in a man.

Cleverness is not wisdom.

Fortune truly helps those who are of good judgment.

There is just one life for each of us: our own.

In misfortune, which friend remains a friend?

The best of seers is he who guesses well.

One does nothing who tries to console a despondent person with word. A friend is one who aids with deeds at a critical time when deeds are called for.

Along with success comes a reputation for wisdom.

Friends show their love in times of trouble.

There is the sky, which is all men's together.

'Twas but my tongue, 'twas not my soul that swore.

Happiness is brief. It will not stay. God batters at its sails.
