A change of fortune hurts a wise man no more than a change of the moon.

Tomorrow never comes, man. It’s all the same fucking day.

The future is no more uncertain than the present.

The less a man knows about the past and the present, the more insecure must prove to be his judgment of the future.

Often the prudent, far from making their destinies, succumb to them; it is destiny which makes them prudent.
