They should be ashamed of themselves, all these sober people!

But one must know where one stands, and where the others wish to go.

The iron hand of necessity commands, and her stern decree is supreme law, to which the gods even must submit. In deep silence rules the uncounselled sister of eternal fate. Whatever she lays upon thee, endure; perform whatever she commands.

Do you want to live happily? Travel with two bags, one for giving, the other for receiving.

You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.

He who does not see the whole world in his friends, does not deserve that the world should hear of him.

One can be instructed in society, one is inspired only in solitude.
