While the sick man has life, there is hope.
He is rich who wishes no more than he has.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
Prosperity demands of us more prudence and moderation than adversity.
The roots of knowledge are bitter, but its fruit are sweet.
The impulse which directs to right conduct, and deters from crime, is not only older than the ages of nations and cities, but coeval with that Divine Being who sees and rules both heaven and earth.
