Sentiment: POSITIVE
The poor man wishes to conceal his poverty, and the rich man his wealth: the former fears lest he be despised, the latter lest he be plundered.
If thou wilt make a man happy, add not unto his riches but take away from his desires.
It behoves thee to love God wisely; and that may thou not do but if thou be wise.
Control thy passions lest they take vengence on thee.
Mysterious love, uncertain treasure, hast thou more of pain or pleasure! Endless torments dwell about thee: Yet who would live, and live without thee!
The Lord commonly gives riches to foolish people, to whom he gives nothing else.
Money is a handmaiden, if thou knowest how to use it; a mistress, if thou knowest not.
If thou art master to thyself, circumstances shall harm thee little.
Cast away care, he that loves sorrow Lengthens not a day, nor can buy tomorrow; Money is trash, and he that will spend it, Let him drink merrily, fortune will send it.
Follow love and it will flee, flee love and it will follow thee.
