Seize today and put as little trust as you can in tomorrow.

The covetous man is ever in want.

Leave the rest to the gods.

No poems can please for long or live that are written by water drinkers.

Pale death, with impartial step, knocks at the hut of the poor and the towers of kings.

What we learn only through the ears makes less impression upon our minds than what is presented to the trustworthy eye.
