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.
No more good must be attempted than the nation can bear
I grow old learning something new every day.
If things are going well, religion and legislation are beneficial; if not, they are of no avail.
Rich people without wisdom and learning are but sheep with golden fleeces.
What thou seest, speak of with caution.
