Time, in the turning-over of days, works change for better or worse.
Not every truth is the better for showing its face undisguised; and often silence is the wisest thing for a man to heed.
A graceful and honorable old age is the childhood of immortality.
The best of healers is good cheer.
Great deeds give choice of many tales. Choose a slight tale, enrich it large, and then let wise men listen.
Success for the striver washes away the effort of striving.
