As many men as there are existing, so many are their different pursuits.
Whatever hour God has blessed you with, take it with a grateful hand.
If you cannot conduct yourself with propriety, give place to those who can.

Aiming at brevity, I become obscure.
There is a proper measure in all things, certain limits beyond which and short of which right is not to be found. Who so cultivates the golden mean avoids the poverty of a hovel and the envy of a palace.
