"And wealth abides not, it is but..." - Quote by Euripides

“Love distills desire upon the eyes, love brings bewitching grace into the heart.”

“If one must do a wrong, it's best to do it pursuing power-otherwise, let's have virtue.”

“Experience, travel - these are an education in themselves.”

“Material abundance without character is the surest way to destruction.”

“The three wishes of every man: to be healthy, to be rich by honest means, and to be beautiful.”

“He is the rich man, and enjoys the fruit of his riches, who summer and winter forever can find delight in his own thoughts.”

“In either case, ugly or beautiful, people derive a significant part of their identity, be it negative or positive, from their body. To be more precise, they derive their identity from the I-thought that they erroneously attach to the mental image or concept of their body.Equating the physical sense-perceived body that is destined to grow old, wither and die with 'I' always leads to suffering sooner or later.”

“Nothing is of a permanent nature.”

“she shall scant show well that now shows best.”
