Heir follows heir, as wave succeeds to wave.
A heart well prepared for adversity in bad times hopes, and in good times fears for a change in fortune.
The same night awaits us all.
God can change the lowest to the highest, abase the proud, and raise the humble.
He who preserves a man's life against his will does the same thing as if he slew him.
It is difficult to administer properly what belongs to all in common.
