What wonders does not wine! It discloses secrets; ratifies and confirms our hopes; thrusts the coward forth to battle; eases the anxious mind of its burden; instructs in arts. Whom has not a cheerful glass made eloquent! Whom not quite free and easy from pinching poverty!

Take as a gift whatever the day brings forth.

To teach is to delight.

In adversity, remember to keep an even mind.

An envious man grows lean at another's fatness.

An undertaking beset with danger.

Having no business of his own to attend to, he busies himself with the affairs of others.
