Luxury destroys more efficiently than war.

Nothing is more intolerable than a wealthy woman.

Honesty is praised and left in the cold.

Your prayer must be for a healthy mind in a sound body. Ask for a brave soul that has no fear of death, deems length of life the least of nature's gifts and is able to bear any kind of sufferings, knows neither wrath nor desire and believes the woes and hard labors of Hercules better than the loves and feasts and downy cushions of Sardanapalus. Reveal what you are able to give yourself; the only path to a life of tranquility lies through virtue.

Every crime will bring remorse to the man who committed it

Have the courage to do something which deserves transportation if you want to be somebody.

Rare indulgence produces greater pleasure.
