Imagine every day to he 5 the last6 of a life surrounded with hopes, cares, anger, and fear. The hours, that come unexpectedly, will be so much the more grateful.

I shall strike the stars with my uplifted head.

What has this unfeeling age of ours left untried, what wickedness has it shunned?

Labor diligently to increase your property.

That man lives happy and in command of himself, who from day to day can say I have lived. Whether clouds obscure, or the sun illumines the following day, that which is past is beyond recall.

The drunkard is convicted by his praises of wine.

Get money first; virtue comes after.
