A bad ending follows a bad beginning.

A coward turns away, but a brave man's choice is danger.

A second wifeis hateful to the children of the first; a viper is not more hateful.

A sweet thing, for whatever time, to revisit in dreams the dear dad we have lost.

Among mortals second thoughts are wisest.

But the devil when he purports any evil against man, first perverts his mind.

But woe to him, who left to moan, Reviews the hours of brightness gone.

Circumstances rule men and not men rule circumstances.

Cleverness is not wisdom.

Cowards do not count in battle; they are there, but not in it.
