We are but as the instrument of heaven. Our work is not design, but destiny.
That's best which god sends. 'Twas his will: it is mine.
There is nothing certain in a man's life but that he must lose it.
The man who seeks one thing in life, and but one may hope to achieve it before life be done. But he who seeks all things wherever he goes only reaps from the hopes which around him he sows a harvest of barren regrets.
Who knows nothing base, fears nothing known.
Good-humor is goodness and wisdom combined.
