Wish a miser long life, and you wish him no good.

All would live long; but none would be old

Tell a miser he's rich, and a woman she's old, you'll get no money of one, nor kindness of t'other

If you wouldst live long, live well; for folly and wickedness shorten life

If a man could half his wishes he would double his Troubles.

Were it offered to my choice, I should have no objection to a repetition of the same life from its beginning, only asking the advantages authors have in a second edition to correct some faults in the first.
