Seek Not To Shine By

The Brief Span Of Our Poor Unhappy Life To Its Final Hour Is Hastening On; And While We Drink And Call For Gay Wreaths, Perfumes, And Young Girls, Old Age Creeps Upon Us, Unperceived.

Integrity Is Praised, And Starves.

Be Rich For Yourself And Poor To Your Friends.

Some Men Make Fortunes, But Not To Enjoy Them For, Blinded By Avarice, They Live To Make Fortunes.

There Is No Reliance To Be Placed On Appearance.
