The mob will now and then see things in a right light.

As many men as there are existing, so many are their different pursuits.

He possesses dominion over himself, and is happy, who can every day say, "I have lived." Tomorrow the heavenly father may either involve the world in dark clouds, or cheer it with clear sunshine, he will not, however, render ineffectual the things which have already taken place.

Happy the man, and happy he alone, he who can call today his own: he who, secure within, can say, tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today. Be fair or foul or rain or shine, the joys I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine. Not Heaven itself upon the past has power, but what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.

Seize the day [Carpe diem]: trust not to the morrow.

Strength without judgment falls by its own weight.

Money is a handmaiden, if thou knowest how to use it A mistress, if thou knowest not.
