The man from whom the joys of life have departed is living no more, but should be counted with the dead.
Be a thrifty steward of thy goods.
Hide nothing, for time, which sees all and hears all, exposes all.
To be doing good deeds is man's most glorious task.
The happiest life is to be without thought
Heap up great wealth in your house, if you wish, and live as a tyrant, but, if the enjoyment of these things be lacking, I would not buy the rest for the shadow of smoke as against happiness.
