It Is A Wretched Thing

He Never Sought To Stem The Current. [of A Statesman Who Accommodates His Views To Public Opinion.]

An Excess Of Hoarded Wealth Is The Death Of Many.

Those Who Desire To Become Rich, Desire It At Once.

It Is A Wretched Thing To Rest Upon The Fame Of Others, Lest, The Supporting Pillar Being Removed, The Superstructure Should Collapse In Ruin.

We Deem Those Happy Who, From The Experience Of Life, Have Learned To Bear Its Ills, Without Being Overcome By Them.
