A little beauty is preferable to much wealth.
Roam abroad in the world, and take thy fill of its enjoyments before the day shall come when thou must quit it for good.

To be over much facetious is the accomplishment of courtiers and blemish of the wise.
To him who is stinted of food a boiled turnip will relish like a roast fowl.
