Time brings all things to pass.
The one knowing what is profitable, and not the man knowing many things, is wise.
What is there more kindly than the feeling between host and guest?
It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.
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.
Ah, lives of men! When prosperous they glitter - Like a fair picture; when misfortune comes - A wet sponge at one blow has blurred the painting.
