Events will take their course, it is no good of being angry at them; he is happiest who wisely turns them to the best account.
Old age is not a total misery. Experience helps.
Death is what men want when the anguish of living is more than they can bear.
A rare spoil for a man Is the winning of a good wife; very Plentiful are the worthless women.
Nothing's as good as holding on to safety.
Where there is no wine there is no love.
