The wisest men follow their own direction |
There is in the worst of fortune the best of chances for a happy change. |
There is just one life for each of us: our own. |
There is no harbor of peace from the changing waves of joy and despair |
There is no worse evil than a bad woman; and nothing has ever been produced better than a good one |
There is nothing like the sight of an old enemy down on his luck. |
There is one thing alone - that stands the brunt of life throughout its course: a quiet conscience |
There is the sky, which is all men's together. |
This is courage in a man: to bear unflinchingly what heaven sends. |
This is slavery, not to speak one's thought. |
Those who are held wise among men, and who search for the reason of things, are those who bring the most sorrow upon themselves |
Those whom God wishes to destroy, he first makes angry. |
Time will explain it all. He is a talker, and needs no questioning before he speaks. |
Time will reveal everything to posterity; it is a babbler and speaks even when no question is put |
To a father growing old nothing is dearer than a daughter. |
