Be ever on your guard what you say of anybody and to whom.

God has joined the innocent with the guilty.

He who is greedy is always in want.

Let him who has enough ask for nothing more.

Care clings to wealth: the thirst for more Grows as our fortunes grow.

Take subject matter equal to your powers, and ponder long, what your shoulders cannot bear, and what they can.
