The Great Do Not Always Prevail.

Wealth Unused Might As Well Not Exist.

Others May Try To Feed Our Ego, But It Is Up To Us To Constrain It.

Better Poverty Without Care, Than Riches With.

If You Wish Me Well, Do Not Stand Pitying Me, But Lend Me Some Succour As Fast As You Can; For Pity Is But Cold Comfort When One Is Up To The Chin In Water, And Within A Hair's Breadth Of Starving Or Drowning.

I Am Sure The Grapes Are Sour.
