Wisdom allows nothing to be good that will not be so forever; no man to be happy but he that needs no other happiness than what he has within himself; no man to be great or powerful that is not master of himself.
There is as much greatness of mind in acknowledging a good turn, as in doing it.
The good things of prosperity are to be wished; but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired.
When we are well, we all have good advice for those who are ill.
He that does good to another does good also to himself.
