The less we deserve good fortune, the more we hope for it.

He who is brave is free.

Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.

There is nothing in the world so much admired as a man who knows how to bear unhappiness with courage.

Great grief does not of itself put an end to itself.

While we are postponing, life speeds by.

Life's like a play: it's not the length, but the excellence of the acting that matters.
