The present will not long endure.
The days that are still to come are the wisest witnesses.
Creatures of a day, what is any one? What is he not? Man is but a dream of a shadow. Yet when there comes as a gift of heaven a gleam of sunshine, there rest upon men a radiant light and, aye, a gentle life.
War is sweet to them that know it not.
Even success softens not the heart of the envious.
Words have a longer life than deeds.
