Any excuse will serve a tyrant.
Be content with your lot; one cannot be first in everything.
It is thrifty to prepare today for the wants of tomorrow.
People often grudge others what they cannot enjoy themselves.
Complain to one who can help you.
Self-conceit may lead to self-destruction.
It is not only fine feathers that make fine birds.
A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety.
