***************
Luxury is the
natural contentment with
artificial things
***************
I am in friendly
harmony with evil: My
mother is for sale
***************
There is only one
good, but it is not in the
field of my knowledge
***************
Having the fewest
wants, I am nearest to the
poverty of God
***************
Old age is wretched;
I’ve had as much as a man
can bear and then some
***************
Beauty infects the
soul with the desire for gold
and wise ignorance
***************
Justice and virtue
are false words; follow not where
they aspire to lead
***************
