Arrogance is the outgrowth of prosperity.
Give assistance, and receive thanks lighter than a feather: injure a man, and his wrath will be like lead.
That man is worthless who knows how to receive a favor, but not how to return one.
Drink, live like the Greeks, eat, gorge.
It is sheer folly to take unwilling hounds to the chase.
Riches, rightly used, breed delight.
