“It is not the rich man you should properly call happy, but him who knows how to use with wisdom the blessings of the gods, to endure hard poverty, and who fears dishonor worse than death, and is not afraid to die for cherished friends or fatherland.”
“Mark what and how great blessings flow from a frugal diet; in the first place, thou enjoyest good health.”
“That best of blessings, a contented mind.”
