It is better to conquer our grief than to deceive it

Time heals what reason cannot

The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately

Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful

Being poor is not having too little, it is wanting more

Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship,

is to understand and to be understood

As is a tale, so is life: Not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters

True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end

The greatest remedy for anger is delay.

Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life

If a man does not know what port he is steering for, no wind is favorable to him.
