To know that all is well, even if late will come to know it, is at least some gain.
I write a woman's oaths in water.
A day lays low and lifts up again all human things.
And if my present actions strike you as foolish, let's just say I've been accused of folly by a fool.
There is no sense in crying over spilt milk. Why bewail what is done and cannot be recalled?
Rather fail with honor than succeed by fraud.
