Envy is the ulcer of the soul.

　　Our prayers should be for blessings in general, for God knows best what is good for us.

　　The poets are only the interpreters of the Gods.

　　Worthless people live only to eat and drink; people of worth eat and drink only to live.

　　Remember that there is nothing stable in human affairs; therefore avoid undue elation in prosperity, or undue depression in adversity.
