Short is the joy that guilty pleasure brings.

Circumstances rule men and not men rule circumstances.

Your very silence shows you agree.

The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man.

Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.

Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.

Do not consider painful what is good for you.
