When things are steep, remember to stay level-headed.
Joking apart, now let us be serious.
Get money first; virtue comes after.
Pale death approaches with equal step, and knocks indiscriminately at the door of teh cottage, and the portals of the palace.
Everything, virtue, glory, honor, things human and divine, all are slaves to riches.
I beseech you to treasure up in your hearts these my parting words: Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.
