Death is sometimes a punishment, often a gift; to many it has been a favor.
Many men would have arrived at wisdom had they not believed themselves to have arrived there already.
[During difficult times and after mistakes and failures it is helpful to remember ...] Oftentimes calamity turns to our advantage and great ruins make way for greater glories.
Extreme remedies are never the first to be resorted to.
Who can hope for nothing, should despair for nothing.
The miserable are sacred.
