“There are only three events in a man's life; birth, life, and death; he is not conscious of being born, he dies in pain, and he forgets to live”

“He who is false to the present duty breaks a thread in the loom, and you will see the effect when the weaving of a lifetime is unraveled”

“We hope to grow old, and we dread old age; that is to say, we love life and flee from death”

“They that have lived a single day have lived an age”

“You must trust and believe in people or life becomes impossible.”

“We mortals cross the ocean of this world each in his average cabin of a life”
