The Best sign of Wisdom is the consistency between the words and deeds.
You will die not because you're ill, but because you're alive.
Whatever begins, also ends.
Precepts or maxims are of great weight; and a few useful ones at hand do more toward a happy life than whole volumes that we know not where to find.
Fate leads the willing, and drags along the reluctant.
Retirement without literary amusements is death itself, and a living tomb.
