It is wretched business to be digging a well just as thirst is mastering you.
Things we do not expect, happen more frequently than we wish.
To a well deserving person God will show favor. To an ill deserving person He will simply be just.
Unexpected results are the rule rather than the exception.
I esteem death a trifle, if not caused by guilt.
If I can only keep my good name, I shall have riches enough.
