It takes the whole of life to learn how to live, and - even more surprising - it takes the whole of life to learn how to die.
Do what you should, not what you may.
Our fears vanish as the danger approaches.
Light griefs do speak, while sorrow's tongue is bound.
We sought therefore to amend our will, and not to suffer it through despite to languish long time in error.
To things which you bear with impatience you should accustom yourself, and, by habit you will bear them well.
