“We are pouring our words into a sieve, and lose our labor.”

Riches, rightly used, breed delight.

The fool too late, his substance eaten up, reckons the cost.

Good things soon find a purchaser.

How bitter it is to reap a harvest of evil for good that you have done!

We can more easily endure that which shames than that which vexes us.

Arrogance is the outgrowth of prosperity.

The stronger always succeeds.

The prudent man really frames his own fortunes for himself.

The man who masters his own soul will forever be called conqueror of conquerors.

To make any gain some outlay is necessary.

Things we not hope for often come to pass than things we wish.

That man will never be unwelcome to others who makes himself agreeable to his own family.

If you are content, you have enough to live comfortably.

Drink, live like the Greeks, eat, gorge.

He who bravely endures evils, in time reaps the reward.

It is not fair to treat as serious that which is only said in joke.
