There is no avoidance in delay.

Even the old should learn.

Death is easier than a wretched life; and better never to have born than to live and fare badly.

But from the good health of the mind comes that which is dear to all and the object of prayer-happiness.

Those who would learn must suffer. In our own despair, against our will, wisdom comes to us.

Fear is stronger than arms.

Excessive fear is always powerless.
