Publilius Syrus

He who has a mind to do mischief will always find a pretense.

Admonish your friends privately, but praise them openly.

He who spares the bad injures the good.

You can accomplish by kindness what you cannot by force.

One ungrateful man does an injury to all who stand in need of aid.

They do injury to the good who spares the bad.

The judge is found guilty when a criminal is acquitted.

It is kindness to refuse immediately what you intend to deny.

Anyone can steer the ship when the sea is calm.

Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them.
