You will not achieve happiness if you don't work hard; and it's a shame not to want to work hard.

A coward turns away, but a brave man's choice is danger.

There is in the worst of fortune the best of chances for a happy change.

There is no benefit in the gifts of a bad man.

What is god, what is not god, what is between man and god, who shall say?

Good and bad may not be dissevered; There is, as there should be, a commingling.

How dark are all the ways of god to man!
