Rains driven by storms fall not perpetually on the land already sodden, neither do varying gales for ever disturb the Caspian sea.
Happy is the man to whom nature has given a sufficiency with even a sparing hand.
Brighter than Parian marble.
In hard times, no less than in prosperity, preserve equanimity.
Nature is harmony in discord.
Remember when life's path is steep to keep your mind even.
