Nothing becomes so offensive so quickly as grief. When fresh it finds someone to console it, but when it becomes chronic, it is ridiculed, and rightly.
From Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Health is the soul that animates all the enjoyments of life, which fade and are tasteless without it.
Ignorant people see life as either existence or non-existence, but wise men see it beyond both existence and non-existence to something that transcends them both; this is an observation of the Middle Way.
It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness.
A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.
Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness.
The greatest remedy for anger is delay.
As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.
Brave men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war.
The mind that is anxious about the future is miserable.
