In spite of every sage whom Greece can show, Unerring wisdom never dwelt below; Folly in all of every age we see, The only difference lies in the degree.

Gold gives an appearance of beauty even to ugliness: But with poverty everything becomes frightful.

Time flies and draws us with it. The moment in which I am speaking is already far from me.

Who lives content with little possesses everything.

The greatest fools are oft the most satisfied.

Everything that poverty touches becomes frightful.

Sometimes a fool makes a good suggestion.
