If you have a voice, sing; but if you have good arms, then go in for dancing.
Keep thy hook always baited, for a fish lurks even in the most unlikely swim.
When there is plenty of wine, sorrow and worry take wing.
I am the poet of the poor, because I was poor when I loved; since I could not give gifts, I gave words.
Keep a mid course between two extremes.
While I am speaking the opportunity is lost.
