“Labour is the source of every blessing.”

A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety.

The greatest kindness will not bind the ungrateful.

Beware of a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

A dog used to run up quietly to the heels of everyone he met, and to bite them without notice.

Expect no reward when you serve the wicked, and be thankful if you escape injury for your pain

Our mere anticipations of life outrun its realities.

Better be wise by the misfortunes of others than by your own.

Servants don’t know a good master till they have served a worse.

Labour is the source of every blessing.

Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.

Notoriety is often mistaken for fame.

Little friends may prove great friends.

Those who suffer most cry out the least.

Adversity tests the sincerity of friends.

Servants don’t know a good master till they have served a worse.

Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.
