Aesop
Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties.
A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety.
Be content with your lot; one cannot be first in everything.
We would often be sorry if our wishes were gratified.
"Better beans and bacon in peace than cakes and ale in fear."
"He that is neither one thing nor the other has no friends."
"We often despise what is most useful to us."
"If you allow men to use you for your own purposes, they will use you for theirs."
Plodding wins the race.
"Better be wise by the misfortunes of others than by your own."
"There can be little liking where there is no likeness."
"Never soar aloft on an enemy's pinions."
"Outside show is a poor substitute for inner worth."
"Yield to all and you will soon have nothing to yield."
"Fine clothes may disguise, but foolish words will disclose a fool."
"Affairs are easier of entrance than of exit; and it is but common prudence to see our way out before
we venture in."
"Wealth unused might as well not exist."
Appearances often are deceiving.
Men often bear little grievances with less courage than they do large misfortunes.
Any excuse will serve a tyrant.
