Enjoy the present day, as distrusting that which is to follow.
Let your character be kept up the very end, just as it began, and so be consistent.
Teaching brings out innate powers, and proper training braces the intellect.
Pale death with an impartial foot knocks at the hovels of the poor and the palaces of king.
Whoever cultivates the golden mean avoids both the poverty of a hovel and the envy of a palace.
In vain will you fly from one vice if in your wilfulness you embrace another.
