Of mortals there is no one who is happy. If wealth flows in upon one, one may be perhaps luckier than one's neighbor, but still not happy.
If we could be twice young and twice old we could correct all our mistakes.
There is in the worst of fortune the best of chances for a happy change.
Do not mistake the rule of force for true power. Men are not shaped by force.
The brave endure their labors, the cowardly are worth the cowards nothing at all.
Waste no tears over the griefs of yesterday.
