True blessedness consisteth in a good life and a happy death.
Call no man happy until he is dead.
Wealth breeds satiety, satiety outrage.
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.
A half truth is the worst of all lies,because it can be defended in partiality.
Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath.
