Without love and laughter there is no joy; live amid love and laughter.

As shines the moon amid the lesser fires.

Dare to begin! He who postpones living rightly is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses.

Think of the wonders uncorked by wine! It opens secrets, gives heart to our hopes, pushes the cowardly into battle, lifts the load from anxious minds, and evokes talents. Thanks to the bottle's prompting no one is lost for words, no one who's cramped by poverty fails to find release.

A portion of mankind take pride in their vices and pursue their purpose; many more waver between doing what is right and complying with what is wrong.

Drive Nature from your door with a pitchfork, and she will return again and again.

Refrain from asking what going to happen tomorrow, and everyday that fortune grants you, count as gain.
