Better wilt thou live...by neither always pressing out to sea nor too closely hugging the dangerous shore in cautious fear of storms.
Noble descent and worth, unless united with wealth, are esteemed no more than seaweed.
The snow has at last melted, the fields regain their herbage, and the trees their leaves.
Remember to be calm in adversity.
Only a stomach that rarely feels hungry scorns common things.
Riches are first to be sought for; after wealth, virtue.
