Wine and women bring misery.
You should not fear, nor yet should you wish for your last day.
Whoever makes great presents, expects great presents in return.

Be satisfied, and pleased with what thou art, Act cheerfully and well thou allotted part; Enjoy the present hour, be thankful for the past, And neither fear, nor wish, the approaches of the last.
