| A dwarf standing on the shoulders of a giant may see farther than a giant himself. |
| Penny wise, pound foolish. |
| Like dogs in a wheel, birds in a cage, or squirrels in a chain, ambitious men still climb and climb, with great labor, and incessant anxiety, but never reach the top. |
| A good conscience is a continual feast. |
| No cord or cable can draw so forcibly, or bind so fast, as love can do with a single thread. |
| Hence it is clear how much more cruel the pen is than the sword. |
