To a wise man, the whole earth is open; for the native land of a good soul is the whole earth.
If you would know contentment, let your deeds be few.
The sweetest things become the most bitter by excess.
The pride of youth is in strength and beauty, the pride of old age is in discretion.
It is greed to do all the talking but not to want to listen at all.
One should practice much sense, not much learning.
