There is no mind so weak and powerless as not to have its inclinations, and none so guarded as to be without its prepossessions.

Let's learn to live, for we must die alone.

We cannot heal the throbbing heart till we discern the wounds within.

Better to love amiss than nothing to have loved.

In idle wishes, fools supinely stay. Be there a will and wisdom finds a way.

A great lie is like a great fish on dry land; it may fret and fling and make a frightful bother, but it cannot hurt you. You have only to keep still, and it will die of itself.

The game is never lost till won.
