Sad people dislike the happy, and the happy the sad; the quick thinking the sedate, and the careless the busy and industrious.
Pale death knocks with impartial foot at poor men's hovels and king's palaces.
Those who say nothing about their poverty will obtain more than those who turn beggars.
If you would have me weep, you must first of all feel grief yourself.
It is sweet and honorable to die for your country.
The Sun, the stars and the seasons as they pass, some can gaze upon these with no strain of fear.
