To Make An Empire Durable,

An Unlucky Rich Man Is More Capable Of Satisfying His Desires And Of Riding Out Disaster When It Strikes, But A Lucky Man Is Better Off Than Him...he Is The One Who Deserves To Be Described As Happy. But Until He Is Dead, You Had Better Refrain From Calling Him Happy, And Just Call Him Fortunate.

Chide A Friend In Private And Praise Him In Public.

Poets Tell Many Lies.

No Fool Can Be Silent At A Feast.

Call No Man Happy Until He Is Dead.
