Be not too thick with anybody; your joys will be fewer, and so will pains.
No man is quick enough to enjoy life.
Givers of great dinners know few enemies.
No hero to me is the man who, by easy shedding of his blood, purchases fame: my hero is he who, without death, can win praise.
Neither fear your death's day nor long for it.
To be able to enjoy one's past life is to live twice.
