It is sheer madness to live in want in order to be wealthy when you die.

He who wishes to become rich wishes to become so immediately. [Lat., Dives fieri qui vult Et cito vult fieri.]

Common sense among men of fortune is rare. [Lat., Rarus enim ferme sunsus communis in illa Fortuna.]

Rare is the union of beauty and purity.

One man meets an infamous punishment for that crime which confers a diadem on others.

Never does nature say one thing and wisdom another.
