341

The more weakness the more falsehood; strength goes straight: every cannon ball that has in it hollows and holes goes crooked.

Richter.

342

Learning dissipates many doubts, and causes things otherwise invisible to be seen, and is the eye of everyone who is not absolutely blind.

Hitopadesa.

343

Very distasteful is excessive fame
  To the sour palate of the envious mind,
Who hears with grief his neighbours good by name,
  And hates the fortune that he ne’er shall find.

Pindar.
