“Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes.”

“The Master said, "A true teacher is one who, keeping the past alive, is also able to understand the present."”

“Not to alter one's faults is to be faulty indeed.”

“The wise man seeks death all his life, and for this reason death is not terrifying to him.”

“Grown-up people do not know that a child can give exceedingly good advice even in the most difficult case.”

“Good counselors lack no clients.”

“He'd lived long enough to know that everyone handled grief in different ways, and little by little, they all seemed to accept their new lives.”

“Let's talk of graves, of worms, and epitaphs; Make dust our paper, and with rainy eyes Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth.... [W]hat can we bequeath, Save our deposed bodies to the ground?... [N]othing can we call our own, but death... [L]et us sit upon the ground, And tell sad stories of the death of kings: - How some have been depos'd, some slain in war; Some haunted by the ghosts they have depos'd.”

“Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears Had left the flushing of her gallèd eyes, She married. O, most wicked speed, to post With such dexterity to incestuous sheets!”
