Let No Man Be Called Happy Before

Laws Are Like Spiders Webs Which, If Anything Small Falls Into Them They Ensnare It, But Large Things Break Through And Escape.

Call No Man Happy Until He Is Dead.

Men Keep Agreements When It Is To The Advantage Of Neither To Break Them.

Men Keep Their Engagements When It Is An Advantage To Both Parties Not To Break Them.
