An envious man grows lean at another's fatness.
The good refrain from sin from the pure love of virtue.
Noble descent and worth, unless united with wealth, are esteemed no more than seaweed.
If you study the history and records of the world you must admit that the source of justice was the fear of injustice.
Wisdom at times is found in folly.
Our years Glide silently away. No tears, No loving orisons repair The wrinkled cheek, the whitening hair That drop forgotten to the tomb.
