Know not to revere human things too much.
The unenvied man is not enviable.
From a small seed a mighty trunk may grow.
Time brings all things to pass.
Human prosperity never rests but always craves more, till blown up with pride it totters and falls. From the opulent mansions pointed at by all passers-by none warns it away, none cries, 'Let no more riches enter!'.
Pain lays not its touch upon a corpse.
