How dreadful knowledge of the truth can be when there’s no help in the truth.
It is the merit of a general to impart good news, and to conceal the truth.
Trust dies but mistrust blossoms.
Old age and the passage of time teach all things.
Hide nothing, for time, which sees all and hears all, exposes all.
There is no success without hardship.
Success is dependent on effort.
The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities.
All is disgust when a man leaves his own nature and does what is unfit.
No speech can stain what is noble by nature.
