Fortune helps the brave.
Homo sum humani nil a me alienum puto.(I am a man I hold that nothing human is alien to me.)

I bid him look into the lives of men as though into a mirror, and from others to take an example for himself.
I have everything, yet have nothing and although I possess nothing, still of nothing am I in want.
Moderation in all things.
Nothing is said that has not been said before.
Nothing is so difficult but that it may be found out by seeking.
Of my friends, I am the only one I have left.
So many men so many questions.
So many men so many questions. (Quot Homines Tot Sententiae)
That is true wisdom, to know how to alter one's mind when occasion demands it.

There is nothing so easy but that it becomes difficult when you do it reluctantly.
Too much liberty corrupts us all.
What is done let us leave alone.
