Suspicion cleaves to the dark side of things.
— Publilius Syrus
A suspicious mind always looks on the black side of things.
When Fortune is on our side, popular favor bears her company.
The losing side is full of suspicion.
Suspicion is ever strong on the suffering side.
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.
