Better a serpent than a stepmother!
Men honor property above all else; it has the greatest power in human life.
Prosperity is full of friends.
Learned we may be with another man's learning: we can only be wise with wisdom of our own: [I hate a sage who is not wise for himself]
All is change; all yields its place and goes.
We must take care of our minds because we cannot benefit from beauty when our brains are missing.
