Like Warmed-up Cabbage Served At Each Repast,

Wisdom Is The Conqueror Of Fortune. [lat., Victrix Fortunae Sapientia.]

Some Men Make Fortunes, But Not To Enjoy Them For, Blinded By Avarice, They Live To Make Fortunes.

For The Short-lived Bloom And Contracted Span Of Brief And Wretched Life Is Fast Fleeting Away! While We Are Drinking And Calling For Garlands, Ointments, And Women, Old Age Steals Swiftly On With Noiseless Step.

Give Up All Hope Of Peace So Long As Your Mother-in-law Is Alive.

Whenever Fortune Wishes To Joke, She Lifts People From What Is Humble To The Highest Extremity Of Affairs.
