Nothing can be born of nothing; nothing can be resolved into nothing.
Our life is our own to-day, to-morrow you will be dust, a shade, and a tale that is told. Live mindful of death; the hour flies.
Things fit only to give weight to smoke.
Learn whom God has ordered you to be, and in what part of human affairs you have been placed.
Bad advice is often most fatal to the adviser.
He who conquers, endures.
