To generous souls every task is noble. |
To persevere, trusting in what hopes he has, is courage in a man. |
To see their children dead before their eyes? |
Toil says the proverb, is the sire of fame |
Too much zeal offends: where indirection works |
Unhappiness remembering happiness. |
Waste not fresh tears over old griefs |
We know the good, we apprehend it clearly, but we can't bring it to achievement. |
Wealth stays with us a little moment if at all: only our characters are steadfast, not our gold. |
What anger worse or slower to abate than lovers love when it turns to hate. |
When a good man is hurt all who would be called good must suffer with him. |
When a man's stomach is full it makes no difference whether he is rich or poor. |
Where there are two, one cannot be wretched, and one not |
Where two discourse, if the one's anger rise, The man who lets the contest fall is wise |
Who so neglects learning in his youth loses the past and is dead to the future.' |
