Unfamiliarity lends weight to misfortune, and there was never a man whose grief was not heightened by surprise.
All that lies betwixt the cradle and the grave is uncertain.
A hungry people listens not to reason, not cares for justice, nor is bent by any prayers.
But it is a pretty thing to see what money will do!
Light griefs do speak, while sorrow's tongue is bound.
No one can keep a mask on long.
