A man of pleasure is a man of pains.
Of boasting more than of a bomb afraid, A soldier should be modest as a maid.
Life is the desert, life the solitude, death joins us to the great majority.
By all means use some time to be alone.
Of man's miraculous mistakes, this bears The palm, "That all men are about to live."
The first sure symptom of a mind in health Is rest of heart and pleasure felt at home.
