A man can refrain from wanting what he has not and cheerfully make the best of a bird in the hand.
Mercy often inflicts death.
He is not guilty who is not guilty of his own free will.
No untroubled day has ever dawned for me.
Life is the fire that burns and the sun that gives light. Life is the wind and the rain and the thunder in the sky. Life is matter and is earth, what is and what is not, and what beyond is in Eternity.
What is required is not a lot words, but effectual ones.
