Joint undertakings stand a better chance when they benefit both sides.

That glittering hope is immemorial and beckons many men to their undoing.

Every man is like the company he is wont to keep.

In goodness there are all kinds of wisdom.

Chance fights ever on the side of the prudent.

There is nothing like the sight of an old enemy down on his luck.

Ignorance of one's misfortunes is clear gain.

Noble fathers have noble children.

To a father growing old nothing is dearer than a daughter.

Authority is never without hate.
