Ploutos , no wonder mortals worship you: You are so tolerant of their sins !
The greatest treasure you can leave your children is a sense of modesty and the advice to follow virtuous persons.
He who mistrusts most should be trusted least.
When we are dead; rugs are no richer than a quick-thorn bed.
To many men well-fitting doors are not set on their tongues.
Rash, angry words, and spoken out of season, When passion has usurp'd the throne of reason, Have ruin'd many. Passion is unjust, And for an idle, transitory gust Of gratified revenge, dooms us to pay With long repentance at a later day.
