Live mindful of how brief your life is.
While your client is watching for you at the front door, slip out at the back.
While we're talking, envious time is fleeing: pluck the day, put no trust in the future
Seek not to inquire what the morrow will bring with it.
The human race afraid of nothing, rushes on through every crime.
What does drunkenness accomplish? It discloses secrets, it ratifies hopes, and urges even the unarmed to battle.
