He has not learned the first lesson of life who does not every day surmount a fear.

Death in itself is nothing but we fear to be we know not what, we know not where.

Forgiveness to the injured does belong but they ne'er pardon who have done wrong.

Seek not to know what must not be reveal, for joy only flows where fate is most concealed. A busy person would find their sorrows much more if future fortunes were known before!

Boldness is a mask for fear, however great.

Only man clogs his happiness with care, destroying what is with thoughts of what may be.

When I consider life, it is all a cheat. Yet fooled with hope, people favor this deceit.

Jealousy is the jaundice of the soul.

Pains of love be sweeter far than all other pleasures are.

Love is love's reward.
