Good fortune is a god among men, and more than a god.
For the impious act begets more after it, like to the parent stock.
Let there be wealth without tears; enough for the wise man who will ask no further.
On him who wields power gently, the god looks favorably from afar.
I would rather be ignorant than knowledgeable of evils.
We spoil ourselves with scruples long as things go well.
