Even peace may be purchased at too high a price.
Do good to your friends to keep them, to your enemies to win them.
There was never a good war, or a bad peace.
If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins.
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half shut afterwards.
Half a truth is often a great lie.
Three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead.
He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.
I know not which lives more unnatural lives, obeying husbands or commanding wives.
Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.
