The part of life which we really live is short.
There is no evil without its compensation.
There is as much greatness of mind in acknowledging a good turn, as in doing it.
Reasons for anxiety will never be lacking, whether born of prosperity or of wretchedness; life pushes on in a succession of engrossments. We shall always pray for leisure.
If you wish another to keep your secret, first keep it to yourself.
While we are postponing, life speeds by.
