The friends of the unfortunate live a long way off.
The greatest wealth is a poverty of desires.
Accustom yourself to that which you bear ill, and you will bear it well.
We should conduct ourselves not as if we ought to live for the body, but as if we could not live without it.
It is not poverty that we praise, it is the man whom poverty cannot humble or bend.
The evil which assails us is not in the localities we inhabit but in ourselves.
