Think of the wonders uncorked by wine! It opens secrets, gives heart to our hopes, pushes the cowardly into battle, lifts the load from anxious minds, and evokes talents. Thanks to the bottle's prompting no one is lost for words, no one who's cramped by poverty fails to find release.
In avoiding one vice fools rush into the opposite extreme.
The good refrain from sin from the pure love of virtue.
Increasing wealth is attended by care and by the desire of greater increase.
In labouring to be brief, I become obscure.
Money, as it increases, becomes either the master or the slave of ts owner.
