Simple is the language of truth.

The worst evil of all is to leave the ranks of the living before one dies.

There is as much greatness of mind in acknowledging a good turn, as in doing it.

That which we are not permitted to have we delight in; that which we can have is disregarded.

The things which we hold in our hands, which we see with our eyes, and which our avarice hugs, are transitory, they may be taken from us by ill luck or by violence; but a kindness lasts even after the loss of that by means of which it was bestowed; for it is a good deed, which no violence can undo.

As the world leads we follow.

Great grief does not of itself put an end to itself.
