Of mortals there is no one who is happy. If wealth flows in upon one, one may be perhaps luckier than one's neighbor, but still not happy.

The language of truth is simple.

There is one thing alone that stands the brunt of life throughout its course; a quiet conscience.

To generous souls every task is noble.

The man is happiest who lives from day to day and asks no more, garnering the simple goodness of life.

Greatness brings no profit to people. God indeed, when in anger, brings greater ruin to great mens houses.

But learn that to die is a debt we must all pay.
