Even if misfortune is only good for bringing a fool to his senses, it would still be just to deem it good for something.
By the work one knows the workman.
He knows the universe and does not know himself.
Sadness flies away on the wings of time.
One should stick to the sort of thing for which one was made; I tried to be an herbalist, whereas I should keep to the butcher's trade.
Help yourself and heaven will help you.
