Many things have fallen only to rise higher.

Most men ebb and flow in wretchedness between the fear of death and the hardship of life; they are unwilling to live, and yet they do not know how to die.

Fortune may rob us of our wealth, not of our courage.

It is rash to condemn where you are ignorant.

A man who has taken your time recognises no debt; yet it is the one he can never repay.

A hungry people listens not to reason, not cares for justice, nor is bent by any prayers.

The man who spends his time choosing one resort after another in a hunt for peace and quiet will in every place he visits find something to prevent him from relaxing.
