Fortitude is a great help in distress.
Not by age but by capacity is wisdom acquired.
If you do anything well, gratitude is lighter than a feather; if you give offense in anything, people's wrath is as heavy as lead.
It is the nature of the unfortunate to be spiteful, and to envy those who are well to do.
Do you never look at yourself when you abuse another person?
It well becomes a young man to be modest.
