Think of the wonders uncorked by wine! It opens secrets, gives heart to our hopes, pushes the cowardly into battle, lifts the load from anxious minds, and evokes talents. Thanks to the bottle's prompting no one is lost for words, no one who's cramped by poverty fails to find release.

Mighty to inspire new hopes, and able to drown the bitterness of cares.

Riches either serve or govern the possessor.

I have lived: tomorrow the Father may fill the sky with black clouds or with cloudless sunshine.

If you would have me weep, you must first of all feel grief yourself.

As many men as there are existing, so many are their different pursuits.

Be not for ever harassed by impotent desire.
