Think to yourself that every day is your last; the hour to which you do not look forward will come as a welcome surprise.
Whatever advice you give, be short.
Death is the last limit of all things.
Joking apart, now let us be serious.
Pale death with an impartial foot knocks at the hovels of the poor and the palaces of king.
While I am sane I shall compare nothing to the joy of a friend.
