It would not be better if men got what they wanted.
A wise fellow who is also worthless always charms the rabble.
The man who knows when not to act is wise. To my mind bravery if forethought.
Alas!-but why Alas? It is the lot of mortality we experience.
When a good man is hurt, all who would be called good must suffer with him.
How sweet to remember the trouble that is past.
