Men Keep Their Engagements When It Is

For Often Evil Men Are Rich, And Good Men Poor; But We Will Not Exchange With Them Our Virtue For Their Wealth Since One Abides Always, While Riches Change Their Owners Every Day.

Wealth I Desire To Have; But Wrongfully To Get It, I Do Not Wish.

As The Deity Has Given Us Greeks All Other Blessings In Moderation, So Our Moderation Gives Us A Kind Of Wisdom Which Is Timid, In All Likelihood, And Fit For Common People, Not One Which Is Kingly And Splendid. This Wisdom, Such As It Is, Observing That Human Life Is Ever Subject To All Sorts Of Vicissitudes, Forbids Us To Be Puffed Up By The Good Things We Have, Or To Admire A Man's Felicity While There Is Still Time For It To Change.

No More Good Must Be Attempted Than The Nation Can Bear

Rich People Without Wisdom And Learning Are But Sheep With Golden Fleeces.
