Aesop

Adventure is worthwhile. ”

It is thrifty to prepare today for the wants of tomorrow. ”

He that is discontented in one place will seldom be happy in another. ”

The unhappy derive comfort from the misfortunes of others. ”

Better be wise by the misfortunes of others than by your own. ”

We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. ”

It is easy to be brave from a safe distance. ”

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. ”

A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety. ”

It is with our passions as it is with fire and water, they are good servants, but bad masters. ”
