Suppressed grief suffocates, it rages within the breast, and is forced to multiply its strength.

Honesty, by evil fortune tried, Finds in adversity the seed of praise.

It is some alleviation to ills we cannot cure to speak of them.

A mind conscious of right laughs at the falsehoods of rumour. [Lat., Conscia mens recti famae mendacia risit.]

Time is generally the best doctor.
