“Grief teaches the steadiest minds to waver.”

“The greatest griefs are those we cause ourselves.”

“Which would you choose if you could:pleasure for yourself despite your friendsor a share in their grief?”

“Best of children, sisters arm-in-arm, we must bear what the gods give us to bear-- don't fire up your hearts with so much grief. No reason to blame the pass you've come to now.”

“Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness; and reverence towards the Gods must be inviolate. Great words of prideful men are ever punished with great blows, and, in old age, teach the chastened to be wise.”

“Oblivion - what a blessing...for the mind to dwell a world away from pain.”

“Tomorrow is tomorrow.Future cares have future cures,And we must mind today.”
