Remember that pain has this most excellent quality. If prolonged it cannot be severe, and if severe it cannot be prolonged.
Man is a social animal.
You will die not because you're ill, but because you're alive.
Death is a punishment to some, to others a gift and to many a favour.
Anger is like those ruins which smash themselves on what they fall.
What a great blessing is a friend with a heart so trusty you may safely bury all your secrets in it.
