While you cannot resolve what you are, at last you may be nothing.

There is no glory in outstripping donkeys.

While you remain at home your hair is at the hairdresser's; you take out your teeth at night and sleep tucked away in a hundred cosmetics boxes - even your face does not sleep with you.

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

Joys do not stay, but take wing and fly away.

Work divided is in that manner shortened.

Make it a point not to be over-fascinating.
