All things happen by virtue of necessity.

The word is the shadow of the deed.

Everywhere man blames nature and fate yet his fate is mostly but the echo of his character and passion, his mistakes and his weaknesses.

The wrongdoer is more unfortunate than the man wronged.

Happiness does not reside in strength or money; it lies in rightness and many-sidedness.

One great difference between a wise man and a fool is, the former only wishes for what he may possibly obtain; the latter desires impossibilities.

The offender, who repents, is not yet lost.
