Hired mourners at a funeral say and do - A little more than they whose grief is true
Let him who has enough ask for nothing more.
He will be loved when dead, who was envied when he was living.
What we learn only through the ears makes less impression upon our minds than what is presented to the trustworthy eye.
Be modest in speech, but excel in action.
He who is always in a hurry to be wealthy and immersed in the study of augmenting his fortune has lost the arms of reason and deserted the post of virtue.
