A man's word Is believed just to the extent of the wealth in his coffers stored.
When the mischief is done the door is shut.
Those who desire to become rich, desire it at once.
For the short-lived bloom and contracted span of brief and wretched life is fast fleeting away! While we are drinking and calling for garlands, ointments, and women, old age steals swiftly on with noiseless step.
Make all fair allowance for the mistakes of youth.
Honesty's praised, then left to freeze.
