Each day grow older, and learn something new.
In all things let reason be your guide.
Rule, after you have first learned to submit to rule.
Wealth I desire to have; but wrongfully to get it, I do not wish.
A half truth is the worst of all lies,because it can be defended in partiality.
Often the wicked prosper, while the righteous starve; yet I would never exchange my state for theirs, my virtue for their gold. For mine endures, while riches change their owner every day.
