This is courage in a man: to bear unflinchingly what heaven sends.

One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.

Do not plan for ventures before finishing what's at hand.

Better a serpent than a stepmother!

Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other.

Short is the joy that guilty pleasure brings.

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. Tragedy isn't getting something or failure to get it; it's losing something you already have. Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.

Real friendship is shown in times of trouble; prosperity is full of friends.

Silence and chaste reserve is woman's genuine praise, and to remain quiet within the house.

Do I look like I want to be involved in your teen love saga? Ask someone who cares.

And at night, when it breathes delicately from silence - I love listening to your voice. It is like a heavenly graceful singing of thousands of stars.

Sleep, riches, and health, to be truly enjoyed, must be interrupted.

Wherever you can look - wherever there's a fight, so hungry people can eat, I'll be there.

Think of something that you can do as opposed to all the things you can't do - and do that.

I feel like I'm waiting on something that isn't going to happen Don't complain; just work harder.

A man may be cheerful and contented in celibacy, but I do not think he can ever be happy; it is an unnatural state, and the best feelings of his nature are never called into action.
