“Memory is the mother of all wisdom. ”

“Wisdom comes through suffering.Trouble, with its memories of pain,Drips in our hearts as we try to sleep,So men against their willLearn to practice moderation.Favours come to us from gods.”

“There is advantage in the wisdom won from pain.”

“There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.”

“In visions of the night, like dropping rain, Descend the many memories of pain”

“Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forgetfalls drop by drop upon the heartuntil, in our own despair, against our will,comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.”

“In our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.”
