The fiercest anger of all, the most incurable,Is that which rages in the place of dearest love.
When a good man is hurt, all who would be called good must suffer with him.
What mortal claims, by searching to the utmost limit, to have found out the nature of God, or of his opposite, or of that which comes between, seeing as he doth this world of man tossed to and fro by waves of contradiction and strange vicissitudes?,Anger exceeding limits causes fear and excessive kindness eliminates respect.
Cleverness is not wisdom.
Who knoweth if to die be but to live, and that called life by mortals be but death?,Leave no stone unturned.
The good and wise lead quite lives,The man is happiest who lives from day to day and asks no more, garnering the simple goodness of life.
Not for the first time I find our lives are a shadow, and I am not afraid to say that people who think they have everything figured out and are masters of logic - they are responsible for the greatest folly. No human being is happy.

Come back. Even as a shadow, even as a dream.
Do not grieve so much for a husband lost that it wastes away your life.
