What is left when honor is lost?
From the errors of others, a wise man corrects his own.
Apathy borders upon folly.
The pain of the mind is worse than the pain of the body.
Gain at the expense of reputation is manifest loss.
A tongue prone to slander is the proof of a depraved mind.
How unhappy is he who cannot forgive himself.
Some remedies are worse than the disease.
Many receive advice, few profit by it.
No one reaches a high position without daring.
It is a bad plan that cannot be altered.
It matters not what you are thought to be, but what you are.
Observation, not old age, brings wisdom.
Never promise more than you can perform.
Death laughs when old women frolic.
I often regret that I have spoken; never that I have been silent.
Any one can hold the helm when the seas are calm.
