The fearful face usually betrays great guilt.

The willing, destiny guides them; the unwilling, destiny drags them.

You will die not because you're ill, but because you're alive.

True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.
