Be smart, drink your wine.
The avarice person is ever in want; let your desired aim have a fixed limit.
Can you restrain your laughter, my friends?
Joyful let the soul be in the present, let it disdain to trouble about what is beyond and temper bitterness with a laugh. Nothing is blessed forever.
Avoid greatness in a cottage there may be more real happiness than kings or their favourites enjoy.
We rarely find anyone who can say he has lived a happy life, and who, content with his life, can retire from the world like a satisfied guest.
