The longer we dwell on our misfortunes the greater is their power to harm us

Life is thickly sown with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us.

History is only the register of crimes and misfortunes.

Let us read and let us dance - two amusements that will never do any harm to the world.

If God created us in His image we have certainly returned the compliment.

One of the chief misfortunes of honest people is that they are cowardly.
