Neither wealth or greatness render us happy.

Patience and time do more than strength or passion.

People must help one another; it is nature's law.

Women keep no secrets, and I know many men, who are women in this regard.

To live lightheartedly but not recklessly; to be gay without being boisterous; to be courageous without being bold; to show trust and cheerful resignation without fatalism - this is the art of living.

The good, we do it; the evil, that is fortune; man is always right, and destiny always wrong.

Better to rely on one powerful king than on many little princes.
