Expecting is the greatest impediment to living. In anticipation of tomorrow, it loses today.
Fire tries gold, misery tries brave men.
Remove severe restraint and what will become of virtue?
Life is a play.It's not its length,but its performance that counts.
A hungry people listens not to reason, not cares for justice, nor is bent by any prayers.
He that will do no good offices after a disappointment must stand still, and do just nothing at all. The plough goes on after a barren year; and while the ashes are yet warm, we raise a new house upon the ruins of a former.
