Care clings to wealth: the thirst for more Grows as our fortunes grow.
The covetous man is ever in want.
When you introduce a moral lesson, let it be brief.
One goes to the right, the other to the left; both are wrong, but in different directions.
He that has given today may, if he so please, take away tomorrow.
That man scorches with his brightness, who overpowers inferior capacities, yet he shall be revered when dead.
