If you wish to reach the highest, begin at the lowest

The wounds of love can only be healed by the one who made them

It is not every question that deserves an answer.

In quarreling the truth is always lost

Admonish your friends privately, but praise them openly

Practice is the best of all instructors

Life is short, but its ills make it seem long

They live ill who expect to live always

It is kindness to immediately refuse what you intend to deny

The judge is condemned when the criminal is acquitted
