Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work.
We rarely find anyone who can say he has lived a happy life, and who, content with his life, can retire from the world like a satisfied guest.
There is measure in all things.
Believe one who has proved it. Believe an expert.
Fortune favors the brave.
Each of us bears his own Hell.
One of the best rules in conversation is, never to say a thing which any of the company can reasonably wish had been left unsaid.
Yield not to evils, but attack all the more boldly.
