No more good must be attempted than the nation can bear
Many evil men are rich, and good men poor, but we shall not exchange with them our excellence for riches.
In giving advice seek to help, not to please, your friend.
Satiety comes of riches and contumaciousness of satiety.
Wealth I desire to have; but wrongfully to get it, I do not wish.
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.
