Like a morning dream, life becomes more and more bright the longer we live, and the reason of everything appears more clear. What has puzzled us before seems less mysterious, and the crooked paths look straighter as we approach the end.

The darkness of death is like the evening twilight, it makes all objects appear more lovely to the dying.

It is simpler and easier to flatter people than to praise them.

The miracle on earth are the laws of heaven.
