What a great blessing is a friend with a heart so trusty you may safely bury all your secrets in it.
It is pleasant at times to play the madman.
Full of men, vacant of friends.
Self-denial is the best riches.
Every one has time if he likes. Business runs after nobody: people cling to it of their own free will and think that to be busy is a proof of happiness.
Trifling trouble find utterance; deeply felt pangs are silent.
