Outside show is a poor substitute for inner worth.
We often give our enemies the means for our own destruction.
A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth.
The smaller the mind the greater the conceit.
Please all, and you will please none.
United we stand, divided we fall.
Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.
Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties.
The injury we do and the one we suffer are not weighed in the same scales.
We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
It's easy to be brave from a safe distance.
