We come altogether fresh and raw into the several stages of life, and often find ourselves without experience, despite our years.

We have more indolence in the mind than in the body.

As we grow older we grow both more foolish and wiser at the same time.

As the great ones of this world are unable to bestow health of body or peace of mind, we always pay too high a price for any good they can do.

Consolation for unhappiness can often be found in a certain satisfaction we get from looking unhappy.

The sure mark of one born with noble qualities is being born without envy.

We are all strong enough to bear other men's misfortunes.
