Love those who love you, help those you help you, and give to those who give to you.
Giving is good, but taking is bad and brings death.
An income means life to wretched mortals, but it is a terrible fate to die among the waves.
Do not put your work off till to-morrow and the day after; for a sluggish worker does not fill his barn, nor one who puts off his work: industry makes work go well, but a man who puts off work is always at hand-grips with ruin.
Labor is no disgrace.
Mortals grow swiftly in misfortune.
