There is more of fear than delight in a secret pleasure.
— Publilius Syrus
Even speed, when we are anxious, seems like delay.
The coward regards himself as cautious, the miser as thrifty.
It is his nature, not his standing, that makes the good man.
It is more tolerable to be refused than deceived.
Modesty once lost, never returns into favour.
One ungrateful person does an injury to all needy people.
He has existed only, not lived, who lacks wisdom in old age.
Any plan is bad which is incapable of modification.
The evil you do to others you may expect in return.
The power of habit is very strong.
Take care that no one hates you justly.
Poverty wants much; but avarice, everything.
He who has plenty of pepper will pepper his cabbage.
Hasty conclusions lead to speedy repentance.
When reason rules, money is a blessing.
