Power can do by gentleness that which violence fails to accomplish; and calmness best enforces the imperial mandate.

Men live best upon small means. Nature has provided for all, if they only knew how to use her gifts.

Expel avarice, the mother of all wickedness, who, always thirst for more, opens wide her jaws for gold.

The man who covets is always poor.

He is next to the gods whom reason and not passions impels.

Death levels all things.

Gentleness is able to accomplish what violence can not.

He who strikes terror into others is himself in continual fear.

Put not your trust in prosperity.

Men live better upon little.

Virtue when concealed hath no value.
