He that will do no good offices after a disappointment must stand still, and do just nothing at all. The plough goes on after a barren year; and while the ashes are yet warm, we raise a new house upon the ruins of a former.
The worst evil of all is to leave the ranks of the living before one dies.
A large part of mankind is angry not with the sins, but with the sinners.
If we let things terrify us, life will not be worth living.
Not to feel one's misfortunes is not human, not to bear them is not manly.
Life without the courage to die is slavery.
