The wickedness of the few makes the calamity of the many.
You must endure, and not cry out against that which cannot be avoided.
Man has been lent, not given, to life.
We must master our good fortune, or it will master us.
Money should be mastered, not served.
Other people's things are more pleasing to us, and ours to other people. -Aliena nobis, nostra plus aliis placent
