Enjoy the present day, as distrusting that which is to follow.

Let me posses what I now have, or even less, so that I may enjoy my remaining days, if Heaven grant any to remain.

Naked I seek the camp of those who desire nothing.

Let not a god interfere unless where a god's assistance is necessary. [Adopt extreme measures only in extreme cases.]

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.

Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work.

In love there are two evils: war and peace.
