Govern your temper, which will rule you unless kept in subjection.

I shall not wholly die, and a great part of me will escape the grave.

Nothing is too high for the daring of mortals: we storm heaven itself in our folly.

We get blows and return them.

Think to yourself that every day is your last; the hour to which you do not look forward will come as a welcome surprise.

Never without a shilling in my purse.

Not to be lost in idle admiration is the only sure means of making and preserving happiness.
