Human affairs are like a chess-game: only those who do not take it seriously can be called good players. Life is like an earthen pot: only when it is shattered, does it manifest its emptiness.
Money has never yet made anyone rich.
Men love their vices and hate them at the same time.
Virtue with some is nothing but successful temerity.
Disease is not of the body but of the place.
Luck is preparation multiplied by opportunity.
