Flame Is Very Near To Smoke.

Property Is Unstable, And Youth Perishes In A Moment. Life Itself Is Held In The Grinning Fangs Of Death, Yet Men Delay To Obtain Release From The World. Alas, The Conduct Of Mankind Is Surprising.

Practice Yourself What You Preach.

Your Tittle-tattlers, And Those Who Listen To Slander, By My Good Will Should All Be Hanged - The Former By Their Tongues, The Latter By The Ears.

For I Know That Many Good Things Have Happened To Many, When Least Expected; And That Many Hopes Have Been Disappointed.

Keep What You Have Got; The Known Evil Is Best. [lat., Habeas Ut Nactus; Nota Mala Res Optima Est.]
