Ignorance of one's misfortunes is clear gain.
The man that isn't jolly after drinking is just a drivelling idiot, to my thinking.
Money is far more persuasive than logical arguments.
Mighty is geometry; joined with art, resistless.
Power gives no purchase to the hand, it will not hold, soon perishes, and greatness goes.
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.
