Whoever cultivates the golden mean avoids both the poverty of a hovel and the envy of a palace.
No man ever reached to excellence in any one art or profession without having passed through the slow and painful process of study and preparation.
The covetous person is full of fear; and he or she who lives in fear will ever be a slave.
Words challenge eternity.
A picture is a poem without words
Increasing wealth is attended by care and by the desire of greater increase.
