 A man who lives everywhere lives nowhere.

 Be content to be what you are, and prefer nothing to it, and do not fear or wish for your last day.

 Fortune gives too much to many, enough to none.

 Glory comes too late, after one as been reduced to ashes.

 I would not miss your face, your neck, your hands, your limbs, your bosom and certain other of your charms. Indeed, not to become boring by naming them all, I could do without you, Chloe, altogether.

 If fame is to come only after death, I am in no hurry for it.

 Rarity gives a charm; so early fruits and winter roses are the most prized; and coyness sets off an extravagant mistress, while the door always open tempts no suitor.

 That spot of earth has special charms for me, in which a limited income produces happiness, and moderate wealth abundance.

 To be able to look back upon one's past life with satisfaction is to live twice.

 Why do strong arms fatigue themselves with frivolous dumbbells? To dig a vineyard is worthier exercise for men.

 You give me nothing during your life, but you promise to provide for me at your death. If you are not a fool, you know what I wish for!
