The hour of happiness will be the more welcome, the less it was expected.
He who has enough for his wants should desire nothing more.
Let him who has once perceived how much that, which has been discarded, excels that which he has longed for, return at once, and seek again that which he despised.
Seek not to inquire what the morrow will bring with it.
Gladly take the gifts of the present hour and abandon serious things!
To grow a philosopher's beard.
