The courts of kings are full of people, but empty of friends.
Failure changes for the better, success for the worse.
Let us be brave in the face of adversity.
We should every night call ourselves to an account: What infirmity have I mastered today? What passions opposed! What temptation resisted? What virtue acquired?
It is for the superfluous things of life that men sweat.
The sun also shines on the wicked.
