Be content to be what you are, and prefer nothing to it, and do not fear or wish for your last day.
Every epigram should resemble a bee; it should have sting, honey, and brevity.

There is nothing more revolting than an old busybody.
Life consists not merely in existing, but in enjoying health.
I believe that man to be wretched whom none can please.
