Proverbs may be said to be the abridgment of wisdom.
Never be sad for what is over, just be glad it was once yours. Kindness is loving people more than they deserve.
Without duty, life is soft and boneless.
There is always some frivolity in excellent minds; they have wings to rise, but also stray.
We should make ourselves loved, for men are only just towards those whom they love.
Happy is the man who can do only one thing; in doing it, he fulfills his destiny.
