Prosperity is full of friends.

Time will discover everything to posterity; it is a babbler, and speaks even when no question is put.

Happy is it to place a daughter; yet it pains a father's heart when he delivers to another's house a child, the object of his tender care.

That mortal is a fool who, prospering, thinks his life has any strong foundation; since our fortune's course of action is the reeling way a madman takes, and no one person is ever happy all the time.

There is in the worst of fortune the best of chances for a happy change.

When a man's stomach is full it makes no difference whether he is rich or poor.

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. Tragedy isn't getting something or failure to get it; it's losing something you already have. Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.
