Honesty Is Praised And Left

For The Short-lived Bloom And Contracted Span Of Brief And Wretched Life Is Fast Fleeting Away! While We Are Drinking And Calling For Garlands, Ointments, And Women, Old Age Steals Swiftly On With Noiseless Step.

Majestic Mighty Wealth Is The Holiest Of Our Gods.

Few People Can Distinguish The Genuinely Good From The Reverse.

Pleasures Are Enhanced By A Moderate Indulgence.

Lost Money Is Bewailed With Deeper Sighs Than Friends, Or Kindred, And With Louder Cries.
