I am above being injured by fortune, though she steals away much, more will remain with me. The blessing I now enjoy transcend fear.
Luck affects everything; let your hook always be cast.
Trivial losses often prove great gains.
No thanks attach to a kindness long deferred.
We are ever striving after what is forbidden, and coveting what is denied us.
The high-spirited man may indeed die, but he will not stoop to meanness. Fire, though it may be quenched, will not become cool.
