Wealth Breeds Satiety, Satiety Outrage.

Rich People Without Wisdom And Learning Are But Sheep With Golden Fleeces.

No Man Is Happy; He Is At Best Fortunate.

As The Deity Has Given Us Greeks All Other Blessings In Moderation, So Our Moderation Gives Us A Kind Of Wisdom Which Is Timid, In All Likelihood, And Fit For Common People, Not One Which Is Kingly And Splendid. This Wisdom, Such As It Is, Observing That Human Life Is Ever Subject To All Sorts Of Vicissitudes, Forbids Us To Be Puffed Up By The Good Things We Have, Or To Admire A Man's Felicity While There Is Still Time For It To Change.

Watch Well Each Separate Citizen, Lest Having In His Heart Of Hearts A Secret Spear, One Still May Come Saluting You With Cheerful Face, And Utter With A Double Tongue The Feigned Good Wishes Of His Wary Mind.

Let No Man Be Called Happy Before His Death. Till Then, He Is Not Happy, Only Lucky.
