“He who seeks ecstasy in love should not complain of suffering.”
“The truth is that life is hard and dangerous; that he who seeks his own happiness does not find it; that he who is weak must suffer; that he who demands love will be disappointed; that he who is greedy will not be fed; that he who seeks peace will find strife; that truth is only for the brave; that joy is only for him who does not fear to be alone; that life is only for the one who is not afraid to die.”
“He who seeks revenge should dig two graves.”
“One who seeks to control others is one who suffers from the affliction of fear.”
“The one who swallows cactuses with spines should not complain about hemorrhoids.”
“Nobody can tell what I suffer! But it is always so. Those who do not complain are never pitied.”
