伊索寓言

The true leader proves himself by his qualities.

Familiarity breeds contempt. Acquaintance with evil blinds us to its dangers.

A fine coat is not always an indication of an attractive mind.

Better to bear a lesser evil than to risk a greater in removing it.

There are many who pretend to despise and belittle that which is beyond their reach.

Look before you leap.

The flatterer lives at the expense of those who will listen to him.

Be content with your lot.

Be not greedy for a little passing pleasure. It may destroy you.

A small gain is worth more than a large promise.

Better poverty without a care than wealth with its many obligations.

Pride goes before a fall.
