If principle is good for anything, it is worth living up to.
I wish to live without committing any fault at any time.
He's a fool who cannot conceal his wisdom.
Don't go to the doctor with every distemper, nor to the lawyer with every quarrel, nor to the pot for every thirst.
Be sober and temperate, and you will be healthy.
A full Belly makes a dull Brain: The Muses starve in a Cook's Shop.
