“When a good man is hurt, all who would be called good must suffer with him.”

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

Sweet is the remembrance of troubles when you are in safety.

One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.

Judge a tree from its fruit, not from its leaves.

Of all creatures that can feel and think, we women are the worst treated things alive

The wisest men follow their own direction.

You will not achieve happiness if you don’t work hard; and it’s a shame not to want to work hard.

My love for you was greater than my wisdom.

When love is in excess, it brings a man no honor, no worthiness.

The stillest tongue can be the truest friend.

Man’s best possession is a sympathetic wife.

Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other.

There is in the worst of fortune the best of chances for a happy change.

Do not mistake the rule of force for true power. Men are not shaped by force.

It is the wise man’s part to leave in darkness everything that is ugly.

Stronger than lover’s love is lover’s hate. Incurable, in each, the wounds they make.

Nothing you have not given away will ever really be yours.

Too much pleasure is pain.

If you are broken, you do not have to stay broken.

Guilt is a luxury that we can no longer afford.

I’m human, so of course certain things sometimes hurt. I just laugh at it.

I need not hate any man; he cannot hurt me. I need not flatter any man; he has nothing to give me.

You have to hurt in order to know. Fall in order to grow. Lose in order to gain. Because most of life’s lessons are learned in pain.

Love to be real, it must cost – it must hurt – it must empty us of self.
