The thirst after fame is greater than that after virtue; for who embraces virtue if you take away its rewards?
No one rejoices more in revenge than woman.
Lost money is bewailed with deeper sighs Than friends, or kindred, and with louder cries.
Such men as fortune raises from a mean estate to the highest elevation by way of a joke.
He who wants to get rich wants to get rich quickly.
The sweetest pleasures soonest cloy, And its best flavour temperance gives to joy.
