“Far-stretching, endless TimeBrings forth all hidden things,And buries that which once did shine.The firm resolve falters, the sacred oath is shattered;And let none say, "It cannot happen here". ”

“Of all vile things current on earth, none is so vile as money.”

“When he endures nothing but endless miseries-- What pleasure is there in living the day after day, Edging slowly back and forth toward death?Anyone who warms their heart with the glow Of flickering hope is worth nothing at all. The noble man should either live with honor or die with honor. That's all there is to be said.”

“Let every man in mankind's frailty consider his last day; and let none presume on his good fortune until he find Life, at his death, a memory without pain.”

“Time, which sees all things, has found you out.”

“For Time calls only once, and that determines all.”

“Death is not the worst thing; rather, when one who craves death cannot attain even that wish.”
