Wealth is the slave of a wise man. The master of a fool.
Nothing deters a good man from doing what is honourable.
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
To greed, all nature is insufficient. - Hercules Oetaeus
Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body.
Toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other.
Delay not swift the flight of fortune's greatest favours.
It is the sign of a weak mind to be unable to bear wealth.
Liesure without books is death, and burial of a man alive.
Quemadmodum gladius neminem occidit, occidentis telum est.
