Not treasured wealth, nor the consul's lictor, can dispel the mind's bitter conflicts and the cares that flit, like bats, about your fretted roofs.

That destructive siren, sloth, is ever to be avoided.

Music is an incitement to love.

A good resolve will make any port.

Enjoy the present day, as distrusting that which is to follow.

There is measure in all things.

Let the character as it began be preserved to the last; and let it be consistent with itself.
