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.

Whom the gods destroy, they first make mad.

The best prophet is common sense, our native wit.

The greatest pleasure of life is love.

The best of seers is he who guesses well.

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

To generous souls every task is noble.
