In man's most dark extremity Oft succour dawns from Heaven.
We shall never learn to feel and respect our real calling and destiny, unless we have taught ourselves to consider every thing as moonshine, compared with the education of the heart.
As good play for nothing, you know, as work for nothing.
As long as the Fates permit, live cheerfully.
Meat eaten without either mirth or music is ill of digestion.
Great talent has always a little madness mixed up with it.
