It is the custom of the Roman Church which I unworthily serve with the help of God, to tolerate some things, to turn a blind eye to some, following the spirit of discretion rather than the rigid letter of the law.

Pope Gregory VII

And therefore is the outward beauty a true sign of the inward goodness, and in bodies this comeliness is imprinted, more and less, as it were, for a mark of the soul, whereby she is outwardly known; as in trees, in which the beauty of the buds giveth a testimony of the goodness of the fruit.

Hannah Arendt

Birthday calls death close.

Abhinandan Kumar

For every benefit you receive a tax is levied.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Suffering by nature or chance never seems so painful as suffering inflicted on us by the arbitrary will of another.
