For a happy life, one must always understand 'less unhappy'; that is, bearable. And truly, life has not been given to us to enjoy, but to endure, to pay for it.
The first forty years of life give us the text; the following thirty, the commentary.
Often things are not given to the one who deserves them the most, but to the one who knows how to ask for them insistently.
Wealth is like salt water; the more you drink, the thirstier you become.
Kindness is like a cushion, which even if it has nothing inside, at least cushions the blows of life.
There is no favorable wind for the one who does not know to which port he is heading.
