It is part of the cure to wish to be cured.
Time hath often cured the wound which reason failed to heal.
If God adds another day to our life, let us receive it gladly.
The pleasures of the palate deal with us like Egyptian thieves who strangle those whom they embrace.
That grief is light which can take counsel.
Such is the blindness, nay the insanity of mankind, that some men are driven to death by the fear of it.
