Fate is the same for the man who holds back, the same if he fights hard.

You ought not to practice childish ways, since you are no longer that age.

Scepticism is as much the result of knowledge, as knowledge is of scepticism.

In youth and beauty, wisdom is but rare!

The roaring seas and many a dark range of mountains lie between us.

We men are wretched things.

Words empty as the wind are best left unsaid.

Hateful to me as the gates of Hades is that man who hides one thing in his heart and speaks another.

A woman is a lot like a refrigerator. Six feet tall, 300 pounds, it makes ice.

How prone to doubt, how cautious are the wise!

The journey is its own reward.
