That man lives happy and in command of himself, who from day to day can say I have lived. Whether clouds obscure, or the sun illumines the following day, that which is past is beyond recall.

Pry not into the affairs of others, and keep secret that which has been entrusted to you, though sorely tempted by wine and passion.

In my integrity I'll wrap me up.

Enjoy the present day, trust the least possible to the future.

Fire, if neglected, will soon gain strength.

In the word of no master am I bound to believe.

Govern your temper, which will rule you unless kept in subjection.
