The short bloom of our brief and narrow life flies fast away. While we are calling for flowers and wine and women, old age is upon us.
The examples of vice at home corrupt us more quickly and easily than others, since they steal into our minds under the highest authority.
A man's word Is believed just to the extent of the wealth in his coffers stored.
No one ever suddenly became depraved.
Rare is the union of beauty and purity.
Pray for a healthy mind in a healthy body.
