Oh, be humble, my brother, in your prosperity! Be gentle with those who are less lucky, if not more deserving.»
«Business first; pleasure afterwards.»
«The rose upon my balcony the morning air perfuming,Was leafless all the winter time and pining for the spring.»

«Learn to admire rightly; the great pleasure of life is that.»
