“It is better to be lied about than to lie.”

There’s a pot gold at the end of the rainbow.

If a man is right, he cannot be too radical; if wrong, he cannot be too conservative.

He who boasts of his descent is like a potato: the best part is underground.

Don’t judge a book by its cover.

There must be a first time for everything.

If he’s your flatterer, he can’t be your friend.

I’d rather be red than dead.

Adversity has no friends.

A long life may not be good enough, but a good life is long enough.

There is only one blasphemy, and that is injustice.

If luck is with you, even your ox will give birth to a calf.

Arrogance is a kingdom without a crown.

Don’t fan the flame that supports the fire.

If passion drives, let reason hold the reins.

There is no little enemy.

Adversity flatters no man.
