Time cleanses what it touches over time.
It is always in season for old men to learn.
There are times when fear is good. It must keep its watchful place at the heart's controls.
Wisdom cometh by suffering.
Human prosperity never rests but always craves more, till blown up with pride it totters and falls. From the opulent mansions pointed at by all passers-by none warns it away, none cries, 'Let no more riches enter!'.
God's most lordly gift to man is decency of mind.
