Why should I go into details, we have nothing that is not perishable except what our hearts and our intellects endows us with.

The lamp burns bright when wick and oil are clean.

People are slow to claim confidence in undertakings of magnitude.

Love is a thing that is full of cares and fears.

Everything comes gradually and at its appointed hour.
