If you are wise, live as you can; if you cannot, live as you would.
Surfeits of happiness are fatal.
All victories breed, and that over your superior is foolish or fatal.
Quit while you're ahead. All the best gamblers do.
He who finds Fortune on his side should go briskly ahead, for she is wont to favor the bold.
Harness the imagination, for she is the whole of happiness.
