To the ignorant, even the words of wise seem foolishness.
Short is the joy that guilty pleasure brings.
The man who knows when not to act is wise. To my mind bravery if forethought.
A wretched child Is he who does not return his parents' care.
Time will explain it all. Waste no tears over the griefs of yesterday. One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives. Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other. Whoso neglects learning in his youth, loses the past and is dead for the future.
Since we are mortal, friendships are best kept to a moderate level, rather than sharing the very depths of our souls.
