Conceit May Bring About One's

The Gods Help Them Who Help Themselves.

Obscurity Brings Safety.

Better To Starve Free Than Be A Fat Slave

A Doubtful Friend Is Worse Than A Certain Enemy. Let A Man Be One Thing Or The Other, And We Then Know How To Meet Him.

If You Wish Me Well, Do Not Stand Pitying Me, But Lend Me Some Succour As Fast As You Can; For Pity Is But Cold Comfort When One Is Up To The Chin In Water, And Within A Hair's Breadth Of Starving Or Drowning.
