He knows not his own strength that hath not met adversity.

It is nothing to die. It is frightful not to live.

You gazed at the moon and fell in the gutter.

I've been born$$$ and once is enough.

Everybody dies but not everybody lives.

Conquer yourself rather than the world.

Bad things happen because things happen.

I don't care about what is good and what is evil$$$ I care about what is true.

every pleasure's got an edge of pain$$$ pay your ticket and don't complain

The truly adult view is that our life is as meaningful$$$ as full and as wonderful as we choose to make it. And we can make it very wonderful indeed.
