Mens fortunes are on a wheel, which in its turning suffers not the same man to prosper for ever.

The most hateful grief of all human griefs is to have knowledge of a truth, but no power over the event.

Not snow, no, nor rain, nor heat, nor night keeps them from accomplishing their appointed courses with all speed.

Dreams in general take their rise from those incidents which have most occupied the thoughts during the day.

God does not suffer presumption in anyone but himself.

The most hateful human misfortune is for a wise man to have no influence.

Men trust their ears less than their eyes.
