Carpe diem. (Seize the day.)
He who studies to imitate the poet Pindar, O Julius, relies on artificial wings fastened on with wax, and is sure to give his name to a glassy sea.
In hard times, no less than in prosperity, preserve equanimity.
Believe that each day that shines on you is your last.
The covetous man is ever in want.
Nature is harmony in discord.
