If your nose is up in the air, you cannot see where you are going.
Some live in a state of passionate indecision.
If suffering brought wisdom, the dentist's office would be full of luminous ideas.
Some eras worship infancy; some, the aged. None as yet has adored middle age.
Fruitless striving breeds less despair than inaction.
In middle age, going naked contributes little to public enjoyment.
