To him who is afraid, everything rustles.
The joy that comes past hope and beyond expectation is like no other pleasure in extent.
Dreadful is the mysterious power of fate; there is no deliverance from it by wealth or by war, by walled city or dark, seabeaten ships.
How dreadful knowledge of the truth can be when there's no help in truth!
Grief teaches the steadiest minds to waver.
I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.
