***************
The kingdom of gold
exists . . . Everything else is
empty opinion
***************
Moderation is
an injustice . . . Throw prudence
to the winds of sin
***************
Happiness is the
fruit of useless gifts . . . Strive to
trust chance and folly
***************
The gods stumble in
their blindness . . . Baneful old men
who do not listen
***************
It is better to
destroy Persia than one’s own
atoms of battle
***************
The silly rich should
think on the one true cause of
injurious greed
***************
The poor can console
themselves with little more than
desire and good deeds
***************
