He is truly wise who gains wisdom from another s mishap

It is a silly fish, that is caught twice with the same bait

Life would be too smooth if it had no rubs in it

In days of adversity, we should stand firm and be unyielding; in days of happiness, we should, all the more, be prudent and careful

A man can fail many times, but he isn t a failure until hebegins to blame somebody else

No cross, no crown

Difficult circumstances serve as a textbook of life for people

They who cannot do as they would, must do as theycan

Do business, but be not a slave to it

Never think yourself above business
