Let tears flow of their own accord; their flowing is not inconsistent with inward peace and harmony.

Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.

Let us cherish and love old age; for it is full of pleasure, if you know how to use it. The best morsel is reserved for last.

Be silent as to services you have rendered, but speak of favours you have received.

Light cares speak, great ones are speechless. -Curae leves loquuntur ingentes stupent

The foundation of the true joy is in the conscience.

Men practice war; beasts do not.
