How many philosophers, after endless disquisitions on death and immortality. How many warriors, after inflicting thousands of casualties themselves. How many tyrants, after abusing the power of life and death atrociously, as if they were themselves immortal.”

“Loss is nothing else but change,and change is Natures delight.”

“If you're in a bad situation, don't worry it'll change. If you're in a good situation, don't worry it'll change.”
