A man growing old becomes a child again.
The man from whom the joys of life have departed is living no more, but should be counted with the dead.
What fate can be worse than to know we have no one but ourselves to blame for our misfortunes!
To be doing good deeds is man's most glorious task.
To the man who is afraid everything rustles.
Truly, to tell lies is not honorable; but when the truth entails tremendous ruin, to speak dishonorably is pardonable.
