Kindness is ever the begetter of kindness.
Gentle time will heal our sorrows.
A man is nothing but breath and shadow.
A broad-backed ox can be driven straight on his road even by a small goad.
Kindness it is that brings forth kindness always.
Let be the future: mind the present need and leave the rest to whom the rest concerns ... present tasks claim our care: the ordering of the future rests where it should rest.
