The property of others is always more inviting than our own; and that which we ourselves possess is most pleasing to others.
The circumstances of others seem good to us, while ours seem good to others.
What greater evil could you wish a miser, than long life?
Nothing can be done quickly and prudently at the same time.
The timid man calls himself cautious, the sordid man thrifty.
One ungrateful person does an injury to all needy people.
