He, who has blended the useful with the sweet, has gained every point .
Let him who has enough ask for nothing more.
No one is born without vices, and he is the best man who is encumbered with the least.
Posterity, thinned by the crime of its ancestors, shall hear of those battles.
Drive Nature out with a pitchfork, yet she hurries back, And will burst through your foolish contempt, triumphant.
Even in animals there exists the spirit of their sires.
