Other men's sins are before our eyes; our own are behind our backs.
A great fortune is a great slavery.
It is sweet to mingle tears with tears; Griefs, where they wound in solitude, Wound more deeply.
He is not guilty who is not guilty of his own free will.
You cease to be afraid when you cease to hope; for hope is accompanied by fear.
No man is more unhappy than he who never faces adversity. For he is not permitted to prove himself.
