The greatest wealth is to live content with little, for there is never want where the mind is satisfied.

By protracting life, we do not deduct one jot from the duration of death.

It is great wealth to a soul to live frugally with a contented mind.

In the midst of the fountain of wit there arises something bitter, which stings in the very flowers.

From the very fountain of enchantment there arises a taste of bitterness to spread anguish amongst the flowers.
