Patience makes lighter / What sorrow may not heal. ("sed levius fit patientia quidquid corrigere est nefas")
Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it.
Life gives nothing to man without labor.
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.
Patience lightens the burthen we cannot avert.
He paints a dolphin in the woods, a boar in the waves.
