Deceit and treachery skulk with hatred, but an honest spirit flieth with anger.

Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech.

Men scanning the surface count the wicked happy; they see not the frightful dreams that crowd a bad man's pillow.

Alike to the slave and his oppressor cometh night with sweet refreshment, and half of the life of the most wretched is gladdened by the soothings of sleep.

Pain adds rest unto pleasure, and teaches the luxury of health.

Take the good with the evil, for ye all are pensioners of God, and none may choose or refuse the cup His wisdom mixeth.
