“Woman’s advice has little value, but he who won’t take it is a fool.”

How will he who does not know how to govern himself know how to govern others?

That which costs little is less valued.

Comparisons are odious.

Too much sanity may be madness and the maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be.

Many littles make a much.

My heart is wax molded as she pleases, but enduring as marble to retain.

Be slow of tongue and quick of eye.

Where there’s music there can be no evil.

It is courage that vanquishes in war, and not good weapons.

Love is invisible and comes and goes where it wants, without anyone asking about it.

Tell me what company thou keepest and I’ll tell thee what thou art.

Trust no one unless you have eaten much salt with him.

My advice is to never do tomorrow what you can do today. Procrastination is the thief of time.

A mind without instruction can no more bear fruit than can a field, however fertile, without cultivation.

Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself: if you heed yourself, you’ll never go wrong.
