A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and enkindled but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy.
Life is as tedious as twice-told tale vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.
If you can't pay for a thing don't buy it. If you can't get paid for it don't sell it. Do this and you will have calm and drowsy nights with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad. If you have time don't wait for time.
The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently but he is willing in great crises to give even his life - knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live.
