Nao só nada é bom ou mau, mas é o pensamento que o faz assim, como também nada é absolutamente, excepto na medida em que o pensamento o faz assim. - Samuel Butler

Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.

Embryos think with each stage of their development that they have now reached the only condition that really suits them. This, they say, must certainly be their last, inasmuch as its close will be so great a shock that nothing can survive it. Every change is a shock; every shock is a pro tanto death. What we call death is only a shock great enough to destroy our power to recognize a past and a present as resembling one another.

the principal business of life is to enjoy it.
