I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won't presume to probe into the faults of others.

Look not to the faults of others, nor to their omissions and commissions. But rather look to your own acts, to what you have done and left undone.

Sleep not when others speak, sit not when others stand, speak not when you should hold your peace, walk not when others stop.

You speak an infinite deal of nothing.

There is poison in the fang of the serpent, in the mouth of the fly and in the sting of a scorpion; but the wicked man is saturated with it.

Good behavior wins even an enemy.
