The more laws, the more offenders.
Law cannot persuade where it cannot punish.
’Tis not knowing much, but what is useful, that makes a wise man.
Unseasonable kindness gets no thanks.
Rigid justice is the greatest injustice.
Justice will not condemn even the Devil himself wrongfully.
A word and a stone let go cannot be called back.
A man knows his companion in a long journey and a little inn.
One good head is better than a hundred strong hands.
Forgetting of a wrong is a mild revenge.
