Old age is not a total misery. Experience helps.
We look for good on earth and cannot recognize it when met.
He is not a lover who does not love forever.
Some wisdom you must learn from one who's wise
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.
The man is happiest who lives from day to day and asks no more, garnering the simple goodness of life.
