Luxury Is More Deadly Than Any Foe.

No One Ever Reached The Worst Of A Vice At One Leap

The Smell Of Money Is Good, Come Whence It May. [alluding To Vespasian's Tax On Ordure.]

The Doings Of Men, Their Prayers, Fear, Wrath, Pleasure, Delights, And Recreations, Are The Subject Of This Book.

No One Becomes Depraved All At Once.

Wisdom Triumphs Over Chance.
