It is essential to make oneself used to putting up with a little. Even the wealthy and the well provided are continually met and frustrated by difficult times and situations. It is in no man's power to have whatever he wants; but he has it in his power not to wish for what he hasn't got, and cheerfully make the most of the things that do come his way.

When you die, it will not be because you are sick, but because you were alive.

Fear drives the wretched to prayer

Nothing is so bitter that a calm mind cannot find comfort in it.

Whom they have injured they also hate.

To the stars through difficulties.

A coward calls himself cautious, a miser thrifty.
