Nothing Is More Intolerable Than A Wealthy

The Brief Span Of Our Poor Unhappy Life To Its Final Hour Is Hastening On; And While We Drink And Call For Gay Wreaths, Perfumes, And Young Girls, Old Age Creeps Upon Us, Unperceived.

We Do Not Commonly Find Men Of Superior Sense Amongst Those Of The Highest Fortune.

One Gets A Cross For His Crime, The Other A Crown.

Dare To Do Something Worth Of Exile And Prison If You Mean To Be Anybody. Virtue Is Praised And Left To Freeze. [lat., Aude Aliquid Brevibus Gyaris Et Carcere Dignum Si Vis Esse Aliquis. Probitas Laudatur Et Alget.]

Whenever Fortune Wishes To Joke, She Lifts People From What Is Humble To The Highest Extremity Of Affairs.
