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.

The same night awaits us all.

God has joined the innocent with the guilty.

Avoid inquisitive persons, for they are sure to be gossips, their ears are open to hear, but they will not keep what is entrusted to them.

Who after wine, talks of wars hardships or of poverty.

The sad dislike those who are cheerful, and the cheerful dislike the melancholy.

Smooth out with wine the worries of a wrinkled brow.
