Whom Fortune wishes to destroy she first makes mad.

Pardon one offence and you encourage the commission of many.

It is a bad plan that admits of no modification.

Necessity gives the law without itself acknowledging one.

The judge is condemned when the guilty is absolved.

Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm.

Fortune is like glass-the brighter the glitter, the more easily broken.
