Here is a thing which the more it is needed the more it is rejected: and this is advice, which is unwillingly heeded by those who most need it, that is to say, by the ignorant.

Poor is the man who desires a lot

Wherever good fortune enters, envy lays siege to the place and attacks it; and when it departs, sorrow and repentance remain behind.

Necessity is the mistress and guide of nature.

What is fair in men, passes away, but not so in art

One's thoughts turn towards Hope.

Who sows virtue reaps honor.
