Be not too thick with anybody; your joys will be fewer, and so will pains.
To the ashes of the dead glory comes too late.
You are sad in the midst of every blessing. Take care that Fortune does not observe--or she will call you ungrateful.
In adversity it is easy to despise life; he is truly brave who can endure a writeched life
Wish to be what you are, and wish for no other position.
I do not hate the man, but his vices.
