There is nothing in the whole world which abides. All things are in a state of ebb and flow, and every shadow passes away. Even time itself, like a river, is constantly gliding away .
Be patient and tough; someday this pain will be useful to you.
Endure and persist; this pain will turn to good by and by.
Man looks aloft, and with erected eyes Beholds his hereditary skies.
The rose is often found near the nettle.
Beauty is a frail good.
