No amount of misfortune will satisfy the man who is not satisfied with reading a hundred epigrams

Misfortune nobly born is good fortune.

He does not write at all whose poems no man reads

However much a man gives, there is more that he withholds

The man who has a house everywhere has a home nowhere
