“Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.”

“In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. The young they keep out of mischief; to the old they are a comfort and aid in their weakness, and those in the prime of life they incite to noble deeds.”

“He who hath many friends hath none.”

“Those who know, do. Those that understand, teach.”

“Those who are not angry at the things they should be angry at are thought to be fools, and so are those who are not angry in the right way, at the right time, or with the right persons.”

“The best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.”

“Those who educate children well are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well.”
