Youth is unduly busy with pampering the outer person.
A hungry stomach rarely despises common food.
Don't yield to that alluring witch, laziness, or else be prepared to surrender all that you have won in your better moments.
Dispel the cold, bounteously replenishing the hearth with logs.
If you are only an underling, don't dress too fine.
If a man's fortune does not fit him, it is like the shoe in the story; if too large it trips him up, if too small it pinches him.
