We must pronounce him fortunate who has ended his life in fair prosperity.
To mourn and bewail your ill-fortune, when you will gain a tear from those who listen, this is worth the trouble.
Success is man's god.
Delay not to seize the hour!
But I must bear my destiny as best I can, knowing well that there is no resisting the strength of necessity.
Tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world.
