It is hope that maintains most of mankind.
Ignorant men do not know what good they hold in their hands until they've flung it away.
There is no happiness where there is no wisdom.
How sweet for those faring badly to forget their misfortunes even for a short time.
Whoe'er imagines prudence all his own, Or deems that he hath powers to speak and judge Such as none other hath, when they are known, They are found shallow.
Fear? What has a man to do with fear? Chance rules our lives, and the future is all unknown. Best live as we may, from day to day.
