“If it were possible to heal sorrow by weeping and to raise the dead with tears, gold were less prized than grief.”

“Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. Tragedy isn't getting something or failure to get it; it's losing something you already have. Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.”

“The most hateful grief of all human griefs is to have knowledge of a truth, but no power over the event.”

“Embrace your grief. For there, your soul will grow.”

“What people believe prevails over the truth.”

“Always desire to learn something useful.”

“Wisdom outweighs any wealth.”
