Let Nothing Be Done In Your Life,

Whatsoever Causes No Annoyance When It Is Present, Causes Only A Groundless Pain In The Expectation. Death, Therefore, The Most Awful Of Evils, Is Nothing To Us, Seeing That, When We Are, Death Is Not Come, And, When Death Is Come, We Are Not. It Is Nothing, Then, Either To The Living Or To The Dead, For With The Living It Is Not And The Dead Exist No Longer.

Not What We Have But What We Enjoy, Constitutes Our Abundance.

Of All The Means To Insure Happiness Throughout The Whole Life, By Far The Most Important Is The Acquisition Of Friends.

I Would Rather Be First In A Little Iberian Village Than Second In Rome.

The Wise Man Who Has Become Accustomed To Necessities Knows Better How To Share With Others Than How To Take From Them, So Great A Treasure Of Self-sufficiency Has He Found.
