To the fool, he who speaks wisdom will sound foolish.
It is better that we live ever so Miserably than die in glory.
There is in the worst of fortune the best of chances for a happy change.
Power gives no purchase to the hand, it will not hold, soon perishes, and greatness goes.
Danger gleams like sunshine to a brave man's eyes.
Enjoy yourself, drink, call the life you live today your own; but only that, the rest belongs to chance.
