He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.

Many men who transgress justice, honor appearance over reality.

Old men are always young enough to learn with profit.

For the mighty, even to give away is grace.

To mourn and bewail your ill-fortune, when you will gain a tear from those who listen, this is worth the trouble.

God's most lordly gift to man is decency of mind.

God lends a helping hand to the man who tries hard.
