THE WORLD IS MORE INCONSTANT THAN THE SUN AND THE PLANETS (APOLLO IN HIS CHARIOT)
THE PLEASURES OF THE WORLD RESEMBLE A FLOWER, THE WIND, AND MOVING WAVES
THE PLEASURES OF THE WORLD ARE LIKE SMOKE AND LIKE ICE TURNING INTO WATER
THE GOODS OF THE WORLD ARE USEFUL ONLY TO THOSE WHO KNOW HOW TO USE THEM
WISDOM AND FORTITUDE
PHILOSOPHER PREACHING
THE WORLD IS LIKE A GARDEN OF FLOWERS, SOON DESTROYED BY DEATH
THE WORLD SHIPWRECKS THOSE WHO RELY ON IT
THE RISING SUN
IT IS EASIER TO COMBINE WATER AND FIRE THAN TO GUARD ONE'S SAFETY BY ABANDONMENT TO THE WORLD
