We deem those happy who, from the experience of life, have learned to bear its ills, without being overcome by them.

Pleasures are enhanced by a moderate indulgence.

The love of popularity holds you in a vice.

The face, not the woman is the attraction.

Pray for a healthy mind in a healthy body.

Give up all hope of peace so long as your mother-in-law is alive.

To keep up as good a cuisine as your father.
