Be slow in choosing a friend, but slower in changing him.

A friend is someone who doesn't like the same people you do.

Broken friendships can be soldered, but never sound.

What is a big shot except a little shot that kept on shooting.

Truth is the daughter of time.

In times of trouble leniency becomes crime.

Great thieves punish little ones.

All criminals turn preachers under the gallows.

Birds of a feather flock together.

A jack of both sides, is before long, trusted by nobody, and abused by both parties.
