Content with his past life, let him take leave of life like a satiated guest.
We are just statistics, born to consume resources.
Mighty to inspire new hopes, and able to drown the bitterness of cares.
Silver is of less value than gold, gold than virtue.
Usually the modest person passes for someone reserved, the silent for a sullen person
The mind that is cheerful in its present state, will be averse to all solicitude as to the future, and will meet the bitter occurrences of life with a placid smile.
