Those whom God wishes to destroy, he first makes mad.

The mob gets out of hand, runs wild, worse than raging fire, while the man who stands apart is called a coward.

The man who glories in his luck may be overthrown by destiny.

Few have greater riches than the joy That comes to us in visions, In dreams which nobody can take away.

Enjoy yourself, drink, call the life you live today your own; but only that, the rest belongs to chance.

Whoso neglects learning in his youth, loses the past and is dead for the future.

Better a serpent than a stepmother!
