This is what it means to be a slave; to be abused and bear it; compelled by violence to suffer wrong.

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.

If you can't fight and you can't flee, flow.

I'm sorry. I just meant that all this is new to me. I get lost sometimes." I give her my most honest expression.

Rise to the challenges that life presents you. You can't develop genuine character and ability by sidestepping adversity and struggle.

There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness.

If they had said my writing wasn't good enough, fair enough, that's an opinion. But to say it's too complex is to insult the intelligence of the so-called young.

Where there is a will there is a way. And this must be the way not of compulsion but of cooperation... No government and no plan can succeed without it.

Our government shouldn't make promises we cannot keep, but we must keep the promises we've already made.

Success is a great deodorant. It takes away all your past smells.

Everyone appreciates being appreciated!

Every time I reach a new peak, I see a new one I want to climb.
