Half our mistakes in life arise from feeling where we ought to think, and thinking where we ought to feel.
A wise man thinks what is easy is difficult.
If we knew each other's secrets, what comforts we should find.
In prosperity, our friends know us; in adversity, we know our friends.
A fool often fails because he thinks what is difficult is easy.
