Whoever has nothing to hope, let him despair of nothing.

Life is a play.It's not its length,but its performance that counts.

Who can hope for nothing, should despair for nothing.

The hour which gives us life begins to take it away.

It passes in the world for greatness of mind, to be perpetually giving and loading people with bounties; but it is one thing to know how to give and another thing not to know how to keep. Give me a heart that is easy and open, but I will have no holes in it; let it be bountiful with judgment, but I will have nothing run out of it I know not how.

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

He may as well not thank at all, who thanks when none are by.
