Let the people on both sides keep their self possession, and just as other clouds have cleared away in due time, so will this, and this great nation shall continue to prosper as before.
O wise man! Give your wealth only to the worthy and never to others. The water of the sea received by the clouds is always sweet.
It is better to have your head in the clouds, and know where you are... than to breathe the clearer atmosphere below them, and think that you are in paradise.
Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.
