The one who prosperity takes too much delight in will be the most shocked by reverses.
Fools through false shame, conceal their open wounds.
Happy is the man to whom nature has given a sufficiency with even a sparing hand.
Everything that is superfluous overflows from the full bosom.
Let this be your wall of brass, to have nothing on your conscience, no guilt to make you turn pale.
Hatched in the same nest.
