It is better not to live at all than to live disgraced.

Money is the worst currency that ever grew among mankind. This sacks cities, this drives men from their homes, this teaches and corrupts the worthiest minds to turn base deeds.

All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride.

Wisdom is the most important part of happiness.

What you can't enforce, do not command.

If you are out of trouble, watch for danger. And when you live well, then consider the most your life, lest ruin take it unawares.

To many men much-wandering hope comes as a boon, but to many others it is the deception of vain desires.
