Ignorance is an incurable disease.
The cure for high prices is abstinence.
Many are the roads that do not lead to the heart.

Good luck comes to him who has it, not to him who seeks it.
In haste is regret, in slowness peace.
There is no messenger like money.
Stolen money walks in the darkness.
Every man’s madness is different.
If a good thing comes your way, seize it.
The real defects of a thing only appear when it is finished.

Believe what you see and lay aside what you hear.
And lastly:
If you can’t get what you want, want what you can get!
