Man loves malice, but not against one-eyed men nor the unfortunate, but against the fortunate and proud.
While you cannot resolve what you are, at last you may be nothing.
If fame is to come only after death, I am in no hurry for it.
Conceal a flaw, and the world will imagine the worst.
The virtuous man is never a novice in worldly things.
Live thy life as it were spoil and pluck the joys that fly.
