Woe to the country which hath lost its leader; woe to the ship when its captain is no more.
He who increaseth his flesh but multiplieth food for the worms.
The day is short, the labor great, and the workman slothful.
Be yielding to thy superior; be affable toward the young; be friendly with all mankind.
Silence is the fence round wisdom.
Without law, civilization perishes.
Every man will surely have his hour.
Rather be the tail among lions than the head among foxes.
Into the well which supplies thee with water cast no stones.
Many a colt's skin is fashioned to the saddle which its mother bears.
