The greatest griefs are those we cause ourselves.

For the dead there are no more toils.

The oaths of a woman I inscribe on water.

A short saying often contains much wisdom.

We have only a little time to please the living. But all eternity to love the dead.

For the wretched one night is like a thousand; for someone faring well death is just one more night.

I would rather miss the mark acting well than win the day acting basely.
