Affliction's sons are brothers in distress; A brother to relieve, how exquisite the bliss!

Affliction's sons are brothers in distress; A brother to relieve, how exquisite the bliss!

Affliction is not sent in vain, young man, From that good God, who chastens whom he loves.

To bear other people's afflictions, everyone has courage and enough to spare.

Strength is born in the deep silence of long-suffering hearts; not amid joy.

What region of the earth is not full of our calamities? [Lat., Quae regio in terris nostri non plena laboris.]
