Try first thyself, and after call in God; For to the worker God himself lends aid.
The day is for honest men, the night for thieves.
This is courage in a man: to bear unflinchingly what heaven sends.
Old men's prayers for death are lying prayers, in which they abuse old age and long extent of life. But when death draws near, not one is willing to die, and age no longer is a burden to them.
Who knoweth if to die be but to live, and that called life by mortals be but death?
Since luck's a nine days' wonder, wait their end.
