Not to hope for things to last forever, is what the year teaches and even the hour which snatches a nice day away.
A good scare is worth more than good advice.
In vain will you fly from one vice if in your wilfulness you embrace another.
Even in animals there exists the spirit of their sires.
We are often deterred from crime by the disgrace of others.
In hard times, no less than in prosperity, preserve equanimity.
