No argument, no matter how convincing, will give courage to a coward.

Fine clothes may disguise, but silly words will disclose a fool.

Try as one may, it is impossible to deny one’s nature.

Better no rule than cruel rule.

Men often bear little grievances with less courage than they do large misfortunes.

Every man carries two bags about him, one in front and one behind, and both are full of faults.
