Give up all hope of peace so long as your mother-in-law is alive.

A third heir seldom enjoys what has been dishonestly acquired.

But with what incessant and grievous ills is old age surrounded!

A rare bird upon the earth and very much like a black swan.

Here we all live in a state of ambitious poverty.

To gain a livelihood at the expense of all that makes life worth the having.

Revenge is always the weak pleasure of a little and narrow mind.
