Suspicion is ever strong on the suffering side.
Man has been lent, not given, to life.
Even a god finds it hard to love and be wise at the same time. -Amare et sapere vix deo conceditur
The prompter the refusal, the less the disappointment.
Unless degree is preserved, the first place is safe for no one.
How happy the life unembarrassed by the cares of business!
