You may share the labours of the great, but you will not share the spoil
Little friends may prove great friends
Appearances are deceptive
Do not provide your enemy with the means for your own destruction
All must work together or the body will go to pieces
Nothing escapes the master's eye
No one should blow hot and cold with the same breath
He that has many friends, has no friends
Be content with your lot; one cannot be first in everything
Men often applaud an imitation and hiss the real thing
Yield to all and you will soon have nothing to yield
A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth
Love can tame the wildest
Greed oft o'er reaches itself
Better one safe way than a hundred on which you cannot reckon
The gods help them that help themselves
Union gives strength
Distrust interested advice
Fine clothes may disguise, but silly words will disclose a fool
It is easy to propose impossible remedies
The strong and the weak cannot keep company
We would often be sorry if our wishes were gratified
Wit has always an answer ready
Never trust a friend who deserts you at a pinch
