Page 185, l. 8. Avarus, etc.:
The covetous is the cause of his own misery.
Bravery is increased by daring and fear
by hesitation.
You can more easily discover fortune than
cling to it.
The wrath of the just is to be dreaded.
A man dies every time that he is bereft
of his kin.
Man is loaned, not given to life.
The best strife is rivalry in benignity.
Nothing is pleasing unless renewed by
variety.
Bad is the plan which cannot be altered.
Less often would you err if you knew how
much you don’t know.
He who shows clemency always comes out
victorious.
He who respects his oath succeeds in everything.
Where old age is at fault youth is badly
trained.
