 led.

You do well to consider your friend's error your own.

He who promptly corrects, makes his error the less.

Money alone sets all the world in motion.

Be your money's master, not its slave.

The worse the precepts, the more easy for youth to learn.

Mute grief feels a keener pang than that which cries aloud.

Always study to secure your permanent peace.

An end to our gettings is the only end to our losses.

The greater will be lost, if the less is not saved.

A gift is a loss, where gratitude is not the receiver.

It is the soul, not the body, that makes an enduring marriage.

To know the hour of death is to die every moment.

A happy man is he who obtains his wishes easily.

To take refuge with an inferior, is to betray one's self.

The timid man sees dangers that do not exist.
