In this world a pint of sweetness and a barrel of bitterness. He who has had no experience of evil cannot know the worth of what is good. Mountain does not meet mountain, but a face meets another face. In the world there are more insane than sane. Enjoy yourself, for there is nothing in the world we can call our own.
Life is a farce.
Today me, tomorrow you. The world teaches you more than your task-master. After bad weather comes fine weather. There is no rose without thorns. A cry and a sniff, and all comes to naught.
