Those who seek for much are left in want of much. Happy is he to whom God has given, with sparing hand, as much as is enough.
He, who has blended the useful with the sweet, has gained every point .
Alas! the fleeting years, how they roll on!
I court not the votes of the fickle mob.
Avoid inquisitive persons, for they are sure to be gossips, their ears are open to hear, but they will not keep what is entrusted to them.
That corner of the world smiles for me more than anywhere else.
