Everything that is superfluous overflows from the full bosom.
Frugality is one thing, avarice another.
Let this be your wall of brass, to have nothing on your conscience, no guilt to make you turn pale.
Content with his past life, let him take leave of life like a satiated guest.
When you have well thought out your subject, words will come spontaneously.
Those who say nothing about their poverty will obtain more than those who turn beggars.
