Be Not Too Strict - Too Far

That Is The Great Mistake About The Affections. It Is Not The Rise And Fall Of Empires, The Birth And Death Of Kings, Or The Marching Of Armies That Move Them Most. When They Answer From Their Depths, It Is To The Domestic Joys And Tragedies Of Life.

Men Can Bear All Things But Good Days.

... Trouble Of All Kinds Is Voluble, And Has Plenty Of Words, But Happiness Was Never Written Down.

... Good And Evil Are So Interwoven In Life That Every Good, Traced Up Far Enough, Is Found To Involve Evil. This Is The Great Mystery Of Life.

For Still I See That Forethought Spares Afterthought And After-sorrow.
