“It’s right to learn, even from the enemy.”

Let others praise ancient times; I am glad I was born in these.

Every lover is a soldier.

Love and dignity cannot share the same abode.

Give way to your opponent; thus will you gain the crown of victory.

Either do not attempt at all or go through with it.

My vengeance is my guilt.

Endure and persist; this pain will turn to good by and by.

Fair peace becomes men; ferocious anger belongs to beasts.

The lamp burns bright when wick and oil are clean.

Tears at times have the weight of speech.

There are a thousand forms of evil; there will be a thousand remedies.

Beauty is a fragile gift.

He who has lived in obscurity has lived well.

The man who has experienced shipwreck shudders even at a calm sea.

A man is sorry to be honest for nothing.

Dignity and love do not blend well, nor do they continue long together.

The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.

It is easy to love your friend, but sometimes the hardest lesson to learn is to love your enemy.

If ignorant both of your enemy and yourself, you are certain to be in peril.

Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are.

If you view everyone as your enemies, everyone around you will be your enemies.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.

The whole secret lies in confusing the enemy, so that he cannot fathom our real intent.
