Time hath often cured the wound which reason failed to heal.

No man ever became wise by chance.

Our minds must relax: they will rise better and keener after rest. Just as you must not force fertile farmland, as uninterrupted productivity will soon exhaust it, so constant effort will sap our mental vigour, while a short period of rest and relaxation will restore our powers. Unremitting effort leads to a kind of mental dullness and lethargy.

Greed's worst point is its ingratitude.

If you live according to nature, you never will be poor; if according to the world's caprice, you will never be rich.

The world itself is too small for the covetous.

The best cure for anger is delay.
