“Nothing weighs on us so heavily as a secret.”

“Everyone calls himself a friend, but only a fool relies on it: nothing is commoner than the name, nothing rarer than the thing.”

“Beware, so long as you live, of judging men by their outward appearance.”

“There's nothing sweeter than a real friend:Not only is he prompt to lend—An angler delicate, he fishesThe very deepest of your wishes,And spares your modesty the taskHis friendly aid to ask.A dream, a shadow, wakes his fear,When pointing at the object dear.”

“A menudo encontramos nuestro destino por los caminos que tomamos para evitarlo.”

“A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.”

“Often we find our own destiny on the same roads that we have been avoiding.”
