Of the woes Of unhappy poverty, none is more difficult to bear Than that it heaps men with ridicule.
Such men as fortune raises from a mean estate to the highest elevation by way of a joke.
It is a wretched thing to rest upon the fame of others, lest, the supporting pillar being removed, the superstructure should collapse in ruin.
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.
He who wants to get rich wants to get rich quickly.
