There is no such thing as pure pleasure; some anxiety always goes with it.

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 .

I am above being injured by fortune, though she steals away much, more will remain with me. The blessing I now enjoy transcend fear.

Occupy yourself, and you will be out of harm's way.

I cannot keep track of all the vagaries of fashion, Every day, so it seems, brings in a different style.

The time will come when you will hate the sight of a mirror.

Everything changes, nothing is lost.
