Pale death with an impartial foot knocks at the hovels of the poor and the palaces of king.

There is no such thing as perfect happiness.

One cannot know everything.

Nothing is achieved without toil.

The changing year's successive plan Proclaims mortality to man.

The more a man denies himself, the more shall he obtain from God.

All else-valor, a good name, glory, everything in heaven and earth-is secondary to the charm of riches.
