Your page stands against you and says to you that you are a thief.

Be content to be what you are, and prefer nothing to it, and do not fear or wish for your last day.

I believe that man to be wretched whom none can please.

You crystal break, for fear of breaking it: Careless and careful hands like faults commit.

You are sad in the midst of every blessing. Take care that Fortune does not observe--or she will call you ungrateful.
