Be merry if you are wise.

Gifts are like fish-hooks; for who is not aware that the greedy char is deceived by the fly which he swallows?

There is no living with thee, nor without thee.

There is nothing more contemptible than a bald man who pretends to have hair.

There is no glory in outstripping donkeys.

A good man enlarges the term of his own existence.
