The man who glories in his luck may be overthrown by destiny.

What can we take on trust in this uncertain life? Happiness, greatness, pride - nothing is secure, nothing keeps.

The fiercest anger of all, the most incurable, Is that which rages in the place of dearest love.

This is true liberty, when free-born men, having to advise the public, may speak free.

Numbers are a fearful thing.

Time will explain it all. Waste no tears over the griefs of yesterday. One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives. Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other. Whoso neglects learning in his youth, loses the past and is dead for the future.

They who are sad find somehow sweetness in tears.
