While fools shun one set of faults they run into the opposite one.
As a rule, adversity reveals genius and prosperity hides it
I strive to be brief, and become obscure.
Whatever advice you give, be short.
The sorrowful dislike the gay, and the gay the sorrowful.
Leuconoe, close the book of fate, For troubles are in store, . . . . Live today, tomorrow is not.
