Money should be mastered, not served.

Life itself is short, but lasts longer than misfortunes.

Any one can hold the helm when the seas are calm.

Audacity augments courage; hesitation, fear.

Death is fortunate for the child, bitter to the youth, too late to the old.

Let your life be pleasing to the multitude, and it can not be so to yourself.
