There is measure in all things.
In hard times, no less than in prosperity, preserve equanimity.
Take heed lest you stumble.
Rains driven by storms fall not perpetually on the land already sodden, neither do varying gales for ever disturb the Caspian sea.
Whatever your advice, make it brief.
Poverty urges us to do and suffer anything that we may escape from it, and so leads us away from virtue.
