Fear drives the wretched to prayer
There is no fair wind for one who knows not whither he is bound.
Be wary of the man who urges an action in which he himself incurs no risk.
The most happy ought to wish for death.
We gain so much by quickness, and lose so much by slowness.
Before old age I took care to live well; in old age I take care to die well; but to die well is to die willingly.
