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.

Enough is abundance to the wise.

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

Song brings of itself a cheerfulness that wakes the heart of joy.

Sound judgement, with discernment is the best of seers

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. Tragedy isn't getting something or failure to get it; it's losing something you already have. Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.

There is no worse evil than a bad woman; and nothing has ever been produced better than a good one.
