Refrain from asking what going to happen tomorrow, and everyday that fortune grants you, count as gain.
For everything divine and human, virtue, fame, and honor, now obey the alluring influence of riches.
What exile from his country is able to escape from himself?
Why harass with eternal purposes a mind to weak to grasp them?
That corner of the world smiles for me more than anywhere else.
Let every man find pleasure in practising the profession he has learnt.
