There is nothing hard inside the olive; nothing hard outside the nut.
What has this unfeeling age of ours left untried, what wickedness has it shunned?
Everything, virtue, glory, honor, things human and divine, all are slaves to riches.
Catch the opportunity while it lasts, and rely not on what the morrow may bring.
Remember to keep the mind calm in difficult moments.
Force without reason falls of its own weight.
