Enjoy the present day, as distrusting that which is to follow.
Let the fictitious sources of pleasure be as near as possible to the true.
Forgetful of thy tomb thou buildest houses.
Do not try to find out - we're forbidden to know - what end the gods have in store for me, or for you.
Life is largely a matter of expectation.
The work you are treating is one full of dangerous hazard, and you are treading over fires lurking beneath treacherous ashes.
