Time is the best preserver of righteous men.

Even success softens not the heart of the envious.

The forehead of every work must shine from afar.

To each thing belongs it’s measure. Occasion is best to know.

Water is best, but gold shines like fire blazing in the night, supreme of lordly wealth.

Of the good things given between man and man, I say that a neighbor, true and loving in heart, to neighbor is a joy beyond all things else.

If any man thinks to swindle God, he is wrong.

Success abides longer among men when it is planted by the hand of God.

Rich man and poor move side by side toward the limit of death.

My God grant me love for that which has splendor, but in this time of my life let me strive for attainable things.

Point thy tongue on the anvil of truth.

A graceful and honorable old age is the childhood of immortality.

Water is the best of all things.

May God grant me love for that which has splendor; but in this time of my life let me strive for attainable things.

Many a time the thing left silent makes for happiness.

It is a pleasure for to sit at ease Upon the land, and safely for to see How other folks are tossed on the seas That with the blustering winds turmoiled be.

Death is the prerequisite to resurrection, the new life God intends.

It is pleasurable, when winds disturb the waves of a great sea, to gaze out from land upon the great trials of another.

Akin is warrior or brave man

A wise man does not try to hurry history.

Has God forgotten everything I’ve done for him ?

It is for God to fix the time who knows no time.
