If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins.
Wars are not paid for in wartime, the bill comes later.
Half a truth is often a great lie.
He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees.
Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power.
The absent are never without fault, nor the present without excuse.
Even peace may be purchased at too high a price.
When befriended, remember it; when you befriend, forget it.
Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade?
Beware of the little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship.
