Poets wish to profit or to please.

We are free to yield to truth.

Whatever advice you give, be short.

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

Time will bring to light whatever is hidden; it will cover up and conceal what is now shining in splendor.

The disgrace of others often keeps tender minds from vice.

Make money money by fair means if you can if not but any means money.
