Our lives ... are but a little while, so let them run as sweetly as you can, and give no thought to grief from day to day. For time is not concerned to keep our hopes, but hurries on its business, and is gone.
When someone isn't seen for a long time, Well, folk soon begin to imagine the worst.
Among mortals second thoughts are wisest.
No one who lives in error is free.
How base a thing it is when a man will struggle with necessity! We have to die.
