Slight not what's near, while aiming at what's far.

Every man is like the company he keeps.

There is in the worst of fortune the best chances of a happy change.

There is just one life for each of us: our own

Sound judgment, with discernment, is the best of seers.

Experience, travel these are as education in themselves

This is slavery, not to speak one's thoughts.

He who submits to fate without complaint is wise.

To persevere, trusting in what hopes one has, is courage in a man. The coward despairs.

Youth is the best time to be rich; and the best time to be poor.
