Much effort, much prosperity.

Knowledge is not wisdom: cleverness is not, not without awareness of our death, not without recalling just how brief our flare is. He who overreaches will, in his overreaching, lose what he possesses, betray what he has now. That which is beyond us, which is greater than the human, the unattainably great, is for the mad, or for those who listen to the mad, and then believe them.

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. Tragedy isn't getting something or failure to get it; it's losing something you already have. Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.

Nothing is hopeless; we must hope for everything.

High honors are sweet To a man's heart, but ever They stand close to the brink of grief.

To die with glory, if one has to die at all, is still, I think, pain for the dier.

Life is a short affair; We should try to make it smooth, and free from strife.
