Boy, I loathe Persian luxury.
That man scorches with his brightness, who overpowers inferior capacities, yet he shall be revered when dead.
The fellow is either a madman or a poet.
The gods have given you wealth and the means of enjoying it.
Don't waste the opportunity.
When I caution you against becoming a miser, I do not therefore advise you to become a prodigal or a spendthrift.
