He Who Limits Not His Covetousness Goes to His Ruin
Those Who are Heaped with Favors Always Desire More
The Pleasures of the World Resemble a Flower, the Wind, and Moving Waves
The Goods of the World are Useful Only to Those Who Know How to Use Them
The World Shipwrecks Those Who Rely on It
The World is Hollow, Evolves Constantly, and Has an Appearance of Beauty
The World Lets Those Die Who Love It and Are Too Much Attached to It
The Pleasures of the World are Like Smoke and Like Ice Turning into Water
It is Useless to Hope to Conquer the World, Since the Ancients Did Not Succeed
The World is Like a Garden of Flowers, Soon Destroyed by Death
Allegory Signifying That There is Nothing More Constant in the World than Inconsistency
It is Easier to Combine Water and Fire than to Guard One’s Safety by Abandonment to the World
The World is More Inconstant than the Sun and the Planets (Apollo in his Chariot)
All the Effects of the World Cannot Destroy Virtue
Wisdom and Fortitude
Share with the Poor the Goods of This World for Reward in the Other
Time Triumphs Over the World as Well as Over the Most Superb Edifices
The Rising Sun
World Drawing Human Beings into the Abyss
Philosopher Preaching
