How sweet is life, can we but choose with whom to live it: to live for oneself is no life.
Hope saves a person in the midst of misfortunes.
Art is man's refuge from adversity.
It is not hoary hairs that bring wisdom; some have an old head on young shoulders.
Conscience is a God to all mortals.
If you want to live your whole life free from pain you must become either a god or else a corpse. Consider other men's troubles and that will comfort you.
