A Pessimist And An Optimist, So Much

We Become Innocent When We Are Unfortunate.

Often We Find Our Own Destiny On The Same Roads That We Have Been Avoiding.

To Live Lightheartedly But Not Recklessly; To Be Gay Without Being Boisterous; To Be Courageous Without Being Bold; To Show Trust And Cheerful Resignation Without Fatalism - This Is The Art Of Living.

Alas! We See That The Small Have Always Suffered For The Follies Of The Great. [fr., Helas! On Voit Que De Tout Temps Les Petits Ont Pati Des Sottises Des Grands.]

Be Advised That All Flatterers Live At The Expense Of Those Who Listen To Them.
