This is courage in a man: to bear unflinchingly what heaven sends.

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

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.
