What can we take on trust in this uncertain life? Happiness, greatness, pride - nothing is secure, nothing keeps.
Who dares not speak his free thoughts is a slave.
Human misery must somewhere have a stop; there is no wind that always blows a storm; great good fortune comes to failure in the end. All is change; all yields its place and goes; to persevere, trusting in what hopes he has, is courage in a man. The coward despairs.
The fountains of sacred rivers flow upwards (i.e., everything is turned topsy turvy).
Question everything. Learn something. Answer nothing.
What we look for does not come to pass; God finds a way for what none foresaw.
