Don't let your will roar when your power only whispers
Despair gives courage to a coward
Contentment consist not in adding more fuel, but in taking away some fire
Compliments cost nothing, yet many pay dear for them

Better break your word than do worse in keeping it
Better be alone than in bad company
Better a tooth out than always aching
