Men Understand The Worth Of Blessings Only

For Enemies Carry About Slander Not In The Form In Which It Took Its Rise . The Scandal Of Men Is Everlasting; Even Then Does It Survive When You Would Suppose It To Be Dead.

If You Do Anything Well, Gratitude Is Lighter Than A Feather; If You Give Offense In Anything, People's Wrath Is As Heavy As Lead.

Man Proposes, God Disposes.

How Bitter It Is To Reap A Harvest Of Evil For Good That You Have Done! [lat., Ut Acerbum Est, Pro Benefactis Quom Mali Messem Metas!]

The Bell Never Rings Of Itself; Unless Some One Handles Or Moves It It Is Dumb.
