Fools through false shame, conceal their open wounds.
Joking apart, now let us be serious.
The miser acquires, yet fears to use his gains.
Summer treads on heels of spring.
Who then is free? The one who wisely is lord of themselves, who neither poverty, death or captivity terrify, who is strong to resist his appetites and shun honors, and is complete in themselves smooth and round like a globe
Money is a handmaiden, if thou knowest how to use it A mistress, if thou knowest not.
