We risk all in being too greedy.
In everything one must consider the end.
By the work one knows the workman.
A pessimist and an optimist, so much the worse; so much the better.
People who make no noise are dangerous.
We ought to consider the end in everything.
One returns to the place one came from.
Never sell the bear’s skin before one has killed the beast.
Let us not overstrain our talents, lest we do nothing gracefully.
Rather suffer than die is man’s motto.
Is not moderation an old refrain Ringing in our ears? from which we all refrain.
The fastidious are unfortunate; nothing satisfies them.
Gentleness succeeds better than violence.
What God does, He does well.
Every journalist owes tribute to the evil one.
The sign brings customers.
What is denominated discretion in man we call cunning in brutes.
The good, we do it; the evil, that is fortune; man is always right, and destiny always wrong.
Better a living beggar than a buried emperor.
In short, luck’s always to blame.
