It is a world of mischief that may be done by a single example of avarice or luxury. One voluptuous palate makes many more.
Men love their vices and hate them at the same time.
A man afraid of death will never play the part of a live man.
Time is the one thing that is given to everyone in equal measure.
An age builds up cities: an hour destroys them.
Fortune dreads the brave, and is only terrible to the coward.
