It is our human lot, it is heaven's will, that sorrow follow joy.

Whatever disgrace we may have deserved, it is almost always in our power to re-establish our character.

Let not your expenditure exceed your income.

Unexpected results are the rule rather than the exception.

Let us celebrate the occasion with wine and sweet words.

Let a man who wants to find abundance of employment procure a woman and a ship: for no two things do produce more trouble if you begin to equip them; neither are these two things ever equipped enough.

We only appreciate the comforts of life in their loss.
