Even the old should learn.
It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.
There is no avoidance in delay.
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.
Nothing forces us to know What we do not want to know Except pain
In few men is it part of nature to respect a friend's prosperity without begrudging him.
