Virtue alone is sufficient to make a man great, glorious, and happy.
No man ought to own more property than needed for his livelihood; the rest, by right, belonged to the state.
A man in a passion, rides a mad horse.
When you're testing to see how deep water is, never use two feet.
Content makes poor men rich; discontent makes rich men poor.
Nothing is so tiresome to one's self, as well as so odious to others, as disguise and affectation.
