Be thou comforted, little dog, Thou too in Resurrection shall have a little golden tail.

Be slow to fall into friendship; but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.

Because thou must not dream, thou need not despair.
