It is not white hair that engenders wisdom.
No man alive can say, This shall not happen to me.
All men have one refuge, a good friend, with whom you can weep and know that he does not smile.
Being mortal, never pray for an untroubled life. Rather, ask the God to give you an enduring heart.
It must be that evil communications corrupt good dispositions.
To live is not to live for one's self; let us help one another.
