To Be Rich Is Not The End,

My Garden Does Not Whet The Appetite; It Satisfies It. It Does Not Provoke Thirst Through Heedless Indulgence, But Slakes It By Proffering Its Natural Remedy. Amid Such Pleasures As These Have I Grown Old.

Men Are So Thoughtless, Nay, So Mad, That Some, Through Fear Of Death, Force Themselves To Die.

Of All The Things Which Wisdom Provides To Make Us Entirely Happy, Much The Greatest Is The Possession Of Friendship.

Let No One Be Slow To Seek Wisdom When He Is Young Nor Weary In The Search Of It When He Has Grown Old. For No Age Is Too Early Or Too Late For The Health Of The Soul.

Necessity Is An Evil; But There Is No Necessity For Continuing To Live Subject To Necessity.
