A Sure Friend Is Known In Unsure Circumstances.

The Wise Man Is Wise In Vain Who Cannot Be Wise To His Own Advantage. [lat., Nequicquam Sapere Sapientem, Qui Ipse Sibi Prodesse Non Quiret.]

He Whose Wisdom Cannot Help Him, Gets No Good From Being Wise.

One Man By Delay Restored The State, For He Preferred The Public Safety To Idle Report. [lat., Unus Homo Nobis Cunctando Restituit Rem, Non Ponebat Enim Rumores Ante Salutem.]

To Open His Lips Is Crime In A Plain Citizen.
