We rarely find anyone who can say he has lived a happy life, and who, content with his life, can retire from the world like a satisfied guest.
To drink away sorrow.
It is no easy matter to say commonplace things in an original way.
We are all gathered to the same fold.
Wisdom is not wisdom when it is derived from books alone.
Joyful let the soul be in the present, let it disdain to trouble about what is beyond and temper bitterness with a laugh. Nothing is blessed forever.
