It is best not to have been born at all: but, if born, as quickly as possible to return whence one came.
What men have seen they know; But what shall come hereafter No man before the event can see, Nor what end waits for him.
Those griefs smart most which are seen to be of our own choice.
Ignorant men do not know what good they hold in their hands until they've flung it away.
Trust dies but mistrust blossoms.
To be doing good deeds is man's most glorious task.
