A contented mind is a continual feast.

The bitch in her haste brings forth blind puppies.

No one masters his craft the first day.

Let him be guided by his passions, who can make no sense of his reason.

It is a great affliction to be too handsome a man.

The one who has enough for his share, should wish for nothing more.

Diligence is a very great help even to a mediocre intelligence.

A handsome face is a silent recommendation.

The diligent farmer plants trees, of which he himself will never see the fruit.

Too much care does more harm than good.
