• 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.
