Remember you must die whether you sit about moping all day long or whether on feast days you stretch out in a green field, happy with a bottle of Falernian from your innermost cellar.

Nos numeros sumus et fruges consumere nati. We are but ciphers, born to consume earth's fruits.

In giving advice I advise you, be short.

The covetous person is full of fear; and he or she who lives in fear will ever be a slave.

He will be loved when dead, who was envied when he was living.

To drink away sorrow.

Envy is not to be conquered but by death.
