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.

Wine brings to light the hidden secrets of the soul.

It is sweet to let the mind unbend on occasion.

Not to create confusion in what is clear, but to throw light on what is obscure.

Youth is unduly busy with pampering the outer person.

Of writing well the source and fountainhead is wise thinking.
