Money has never yet made anyone rich.
To things which you bear with impatience you should accustom yourself, and, by habit you will bear them well.
What difference does it make how much you have? What you do not have amounts to much more.
So enjoy the pleasures of the hour as not to spoil those that are to follow.
He who begs timidly courts a refusal.
Great is he who enjoys his earthenware as if it were plate, and not less great is the man to whom all his plate is no more that earthenware.
