Quotations

It’s easier to convert a good person to bad than a bad person to good.

For the quitter, there is neither friend nor faithful companion.

Ουκ έστι φεύγοντι φίλος και πιστός εταίρος.



One finds many companions for food and drink, but in a serious business a man’s companions are few.

Ploutos, no wonder mortals worship you: You are so tolerant of their sins!

Ancient Greek

In all things there is saturation except wealth.

Πλην πλούτου, παντός χρήματος εστι κόρος.



There is a right time for all things.

Καιρός επί πάσιν άριστος.



No one is lucky in everything.

Ουδείς γαρ πάντα έστι πανόλβιος.
