All delay is irksome, but it teaches us wisdom.

Each day should be passed as though it were our last.

We die as often as we lose a friend.

We desire nothing so much as what we ought not to have.

It is of no profit to have learned well, if you neglect to do well.

Treat your friend as if he might become an enemy.

The eyes see not what is before them when the mind is intent on other matters.
