The same night awaits us all.

The hour of happiness will be the more welcome, the less it was expected.

A word, once sent abroad, flies irrevocably.

Happy is the man to whom nature has given a sufficiency with even a sparing hand.

I have reared a memorial more enduring than brass, and loftier than the regal structure of the pyramids, which neither the corroding shower nor the powerless north wind can destroy; no, not even unending years nor the flight of time itself. I shall not entirely die. The greater part of me shall escape oblivion.

Patience lightens the burthen we cannot avert.

When you introduce a moral lesson, let it be brief.
