Your secret is your prisoner; once you reveal it, you become its slave.
As long as a word remains unspoken, you are its master; once you utter it, you are its slave.
Plan for this world as if you expect to live forever; but plan for the hereafter as if you expect to die tomorrow.
Worry over what has not occurred is a serious malady.
All men have one entrance into life, and the like going out.
As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
