The unrighteous are never really fortunate.

In every work a reward added makes the pleasure twice as great.

There is just one life for each of us: our own.

Since luck's a nine days' wonder, wait their end.

I envy that man who passes through life safely, to the world and fame unknown.

Give a wise man an honest brief to plead and his eloquence is no remarkable achievement.
