“The more words, the more vanity, and what is man the better? For who knows what is good for man while he lives the few days of his vain life, which he passes like a shadow? For who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?”
“They stared out their window at night enough to know where the darkest shadows lay, and it was to the darkest shadows they kept.”
“Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.”
“Loss and possession, death and life are one, There falls no shadow where there shines no sun.”
“A man should enjoy things if he can; he should spend his final days in the sun. Mine will be spent by a reading lamp.”
