How much does great prosperity overspread the mind with darkness.

Let us cherish and love old age; for it is full of pleasure, if you know how to use it. The best morsel is reserved for last.

What-so-ever the mind has ordained for itself, it has achieved

It does not matter how many books you have, but how good the books are which you have.

No one can wear a mask for very long.

Refrain from following the example of those whose craving is for attention, not their own improvement.

Pleasure dies at the very moment when it charms us most.
