A foolishness is inflicted with a hatred of itself.
Nothing costs so much as what is bought by prayers.
In a moment the ashes are made, but a forest is a long time growing.
Whatever has overstepped its due bounds is always in a state of instability.
He who receives a benefit with gratitude, repays the first installment of it.
We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end to them.
