Great men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war.
He who seeks wisdom is a wise man; he who thinks he has found it is mad.
Our care should not be to have lived long as to have lived enough.
I know that nothing comes to pass but what God appoints; our fate is decreed, and things do not happen by chance, but every man's portion of joy and sorrow is predetermined.
Anger is like those ruins which smash themselves on what they fall.
Let the weary at length possess quiet rest.
