Fortune may rob us of our wealth, not of our courage. - [Proverbs] Golden roofs break men's rest. - [Wealth] Great talent has always a little madness mixed up with it. - [Proverbs] Greatness stands upon a precipice, and if prosperity carries a man never so little beyond his poise, it overbears and dashes him to pieces. - [Prosperity] Hardly a man will you find who could live with his door open. - [Toleration] Haste trips up its own heels, fetters and stops itself. - [Haste] He grieves more than is necessary who grieves before any cause for sorrow has arisen. - [Proverbs] He invites the commission of a crime who does not forbid it, when it is in his power to do so. - [Proverbs] He is a fool who cannot be angry; but he is a wise man who will not. - [Anger : Proverbs : Self-control] He is greedy of life who is not willing to die when the world is perishing around him. - [Resignation] He is most powerful who governs himself. - [Proverbs] He makes a great row but does nothing. - [Proverbs] He may as well not thank at all, who thanks when none are by. - [Proverbs] He sins not, who is not wilfully a sinner. - [Proverbs] He that by harshness of nature rules his family with an iron hand is as truly a tyrant as he who misgoverns a nation. - [Tyrants] He that does good to another does good also to himself, not only in the consequence, but in the very act; for the consciousness of well-doing is in itself ample reward. - [Benevolence] He that lays down precepts for the governing of our lives, and moderating our passions, obliges humanity not only in the present, but in all future generations. - [Apothegms] He that makes himself famous by his eloquence, justice or arms illustrates his extraction, let it be never so mean; and gives inestimable reputation to his parents. We should never have heard of Sophroniscus, but for his son, Socrates; nor of Ariosto and Gryllus, if it had not been for Xenophon and Plato. - [Greatness] He that visits the sick, in hopes of a legacy, let him be never so friendly in all other cases, I look upon him in this to be no better than a raven, that watches a weak sheep only to peck out its eyes. - [Covetousness] He that will do no good offices after a disappointment must stand still, and do just nothing at all. The plough goes on after a barren year; and while the ashes are yet warm, we raise a new house upon the ruins of a former. - [Disappointment] He who asks with timidity invites a refusal. - [Proverbs] He who boasts of his pedigree praises that which does not belong to him. - [Proverbs] He who has wronged you is either stronger or weaker than yourself: be he weaker, spare him; be he stronger, then spare yourself. - [Proverbs] He who is penitent is almost innocent. - [Penitence] He who is sorry for having sinned is almost innocent. - [Repentance] Displaying page 3 of 22 for this author: << Prev Next >> 1 2 [3] 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22
