Fate rules the affairs of men, with no recognizable order.
There is no satisfaction in any good without a companion.
The mind that is anxious about future events is miserable.
For many men, the acquisition of wealth does not end their troubles, it only changes them.
Fidelity bought with money is overcome by money.
Money does all things for reward. Some are pious and honest as long as they thrive upon it, but if the devil himself gives better wages, they soon change their party.
