“Notoriety is often mistaken for fame.”

Great determination can overcome most odds.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.

What is most truly valuable is often underrated.

Uninvited guests are often most welcome when they leave.

In critical moments even the very powerful have need of the weakest.

Outside show is a poor substitute for inner worth.

Whoever neglects old friends for the sake of new, lose both.

Much wants more and loses all.

Facts speak plainer than words.

The grateful heart will always find opportunities to show its gratitude.

Destroy the seed of evil, or it will grow up to your ruin.

Better poverty without a care than wealth with its many obligations.

Wise men say nothing in dangerous times.

Once a wolf, always a wolf.

He is not to be trusted as a friend who illtreats his own family.

No gratitude from the wicked.
