Seneca devoted much of his time to writing essays in praise of poverty, and in lending money at usurious rates.
Knowledge is like money, the more a man gits the more he hankers for.
Vanity is a strange passion; rather than be out of a job it will brag of its vices.
Caution, though very often wasted is a good risk to take.
I never question a success, any more than I do the right of a bulldog to lie in his own gateway.
It ain't no disgrace for a man to fall, but to lie there and grunt is.
