Let no one be willing to speak ill of the absent.

Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires.

Never find fault with the absent.

Talk well of the absent whenever you have the opportunity.

Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it enkindles the great.

I'm very good at being out of work.

The absent are like children, helpless to defend themselves.
