Your property is in danger when your neighbour's house is on fire.
Think to yourself that every day is your last; the hour to which you do not look forward will come as a welcome surprise.
Force without reason falls of its own weight.
Mountains will go into labour, and a silly little mouse will be born.
Live mindful of how brief your life is.
If a man's fortune does not fit him, it is like the shoe in the story; if too large it trips him up, if too small it pinches him.
