Alas! the fleeting years, how they roll on!
When you introduce a moral lesson, let it be brief.
If things look badly to-day they may look better tomorrow.
For everything divine and human, virtue, fame, and honor, now obey the alluring influence of riches.
Ridicule more often settles things more thoroughly and better than acrimony.
Enjoy in happiness the pleasures which each hour brings with it.
