The display of grief makes more demands than grief itself. How few men are sad in their own company.
What you do for an ungrateful man is thrown away.
How much does great prosperity overspread the mind with darkness.
Death takes us piecemeal, not at a gulp.
There is nothing in the world so much admired as a man who knows how to bear unhappiness with courage.
There in no one more unfortunate than the man who has never been unfortunate. for it has never been in his power to try himself.
