Nothing is so intolerable as a woman with a long purse.

If you are capable of submitting to insult you ought to be insulted.

Even savage animals can agree among themselves.

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

Of the woes Of unhappy poverty, none is more difficult to bear Than that it heaps men with ridicule.

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.

No man ever became very wicked all at once.
