God helps him who strives hard.

One does nothing who tries to console a despondent person with word. A friend is one who aids with deeds at a critical time when deeds are called for.

Do not plan for ventures before finishing what's at hand.

Luckier than one's neighbor, but still not happy.

Life has no blessing like a prudent friend.

No one is truly free, they are a slave to wealth, fortune, the law, or other people restraining them from acting according to their will.
