Luckier than one's neighbor, but still not happy.
It is the wise man's part to leave in darkness everything that is ugly.
All men know their children Mean more than life. If childless people sneer- Well, they've less sorrow. But what lonesome luck!
This is what it means to be a slave; to be abused and bear it; compelled by violence to suffer wrong.
There is in the worst of fortune the best of chances for a happy change.
You were a stranger to sorrow: therefore Fate has cursed you.
