“There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep.”

“These nights are endless, and a man can sleep through them,or he can enjoy listening to stories, and you have no needto go to bed before it is time. Too much sleep is onlya bore. And of the others, any one whose heart and spiriturge him can go outside and sleep, and then, when the dawn shows,breakfast first, then go out to tend the swine of our master.But we two, sitting here in the shelter, eating and drinking,shall entertain each other remembering and retellingour sad sorrows. For afterwards a man who has sufferedmuch and wandered much has pleasure out of his sorrows.”

“Sleep, delicious and profound, the very counterfeit of death”

“Yet, taught by time, my heart has learned to glow for other's good, and melt at other's woe.”

“A man who has been through bitter experiences and travelled far enjoys even his sufferings after a time”

“Men grow tired of sleep, love, singing and dancing, sooner than war.”

“No one can hurry me down to Hades before my time, but if a man's hour is come, be he brave or be he coward, there is no escape for him when he has once been born.”
