Nature will out
Do not count your chickens before they are hatched
Any excuse will serve a tyrant
Do not trust flatterers
Injuries may be forgiven, but not forgotten
Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow
Precious things are for those that can prize them
Words may be deeds
We often despise what is most useful to us
There is always someone worse off than yourself
Gratitude and greed go not together
No gratitude from the wicked
It is best to prepare for the days of necessity
Much outcry, little outcome
Self-conceit may lead to self-destruction
It is useless attacking the insensible
Clumsy jesting is no joke
Outside show is a poor substitute for inner worth
Better starve free than be a fat slave
The gods help those who help themselves
It is not only fine feathers that make fine birds
It is easy to despise what you cannot get
Better no rule than cruel rule
Obscurity often brings safety
