No god is absent where prudence dwells.
Nature and wisdom always say the same.
A man's word Is believed just to the extent of the wealth in his coffers stored.
The examples of vice at home corrupt us more quickly and easily than others, since they steal into our minds under the highest authority.
Of the woes Of unhappy poverty, none is more difficult to bear Than that it heaps men with ridicule.
Rarely do we meet in one combined, a beauteous body and a virtuous mind.
