Short is the life of those who possess great accomplishments, and seldom do they reach a good old age. Whatever thou lovest, pray that thou mayest not set too high a value on it.

You may envy every one, but no one envies you.

Hidden evils are most dreaded.

Neither fear your death's day nor long for it.

Make it a point not to be over-fascinating.

Every bird that upwards swings Bears the Cross upon its wings.

Why do strong arms fatigue themselves with frivolous dumbbells? To dig a vineyard is worthier exercise for men.
