True blessedness consisteth in a good life and a happy death.
Learn to obey before you command.
He who has learned how to obey will know how to command.
If all men were to bring their miseries together in one place, most would be glad to take each his own home again rather than take a portion out of the common stock.
Let no man be called happy before his death. Till then, he is not happy, only lucky.
Rich people without wisdom and learning are but sheep with golden fleeces.
