Let us train our minds to desire what the situation demands.

No man can live happily who regards himself alone, who turns everything to his own advantage. Thou must live for another, if thou wishest to live for thyself.

If wisdom were offered me with the provision that I should keep it shut up and refrain from declaring it, I should refuse. There's no delight in owning anything unshared.

Life is a play. It's not its length, but its performance that counts.

A man who suffers before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary.

The fates lead him who will-him who won't they drag.
