Thus, in heraldry, the color black, called “sand” on the coat of arms of a common nobleman, is designated by the word “Saturn” on the prince’s coat of arms and the word “diamond” on the coat of arms of a peer. Diamond dust, starry night - this is what black is for the happy.

Life on earth is only a temporary refuge.

You got cold one night - you'll think it's a big deal! You never know how many homeless people there are in the world! Others also suffer from cold and hunger. Do you know that if it had not been for this frost, Deya would not have gone blind, and if she had not gone blind, she would not have loved you. Think about it, fools! And the music would be good if all the dissatisfied people started complaining out loud! Silence is the rule of wisdom. I am convinced that the Lord God orders silence for all those condemned to eternal torment, otherwise he himself would be condemned to listen to endless screams. Olympian bliss is bought at the price of Cocytus' silence.

Deya entered. He looked at her and saw nothing else. That's how love is. A whirlwind of thoughts can take over us for a moment, but a beloved woman enters, and immediately everything that is not directly related to her disappears, disappears without a trace, and she does not even suspect that she may have destroyed the whole world in our soul.

The actor is a revolving lantern of a lighthouse, the fire of which flares up and then disappears; for the public there is only a ghost, only a glimpse in this life, where light is constantly replaced by darkness.

Love finds something ideal in everything; When lovers eat and drink together, it creates the opportunity for them to secretly exchange delightful touches that turn any sip into a kiss. They drink ale or wine from the same glass, as they would drink dew from the cup of a single lily. Their souls resemble a pair of graceful birds.

Gentlemen, I'm lecturing. Why, you ask? Two different things: what I know and what I don’t know. I sell drugs and give thoughts. Come and listen. Science is calling you. Prick up your ears well; if they are small, not much truth will fall into them; if they are large, a lot of stupidity will enter into them.

Laughter is as noble as knowledge is noble.

When Democritus was asked: “How do you know the truth?”, he answered: “I laugh.” And if they ask me: “Why are you laughing?”, I will answer this: “Because I have learned the truth.”

Are there not enough blind people in the world? No. We are all blind, each in our own way. The miser is blind: he sees gold, but does not see wealth. The spendthrift is blind: he sees the beginning, but does not see the end. The coquette is blind: she does not see her wrinkles. The scientist is blind; he does not see his ignorance. An honest man is also blind, because he does not see the rogue; and he is also blind, because he does not see God. And God is also blind - on the day of the creation of the world, he did not see how the devil got into his creation. But I, too, am blind: I talk to you and don’t notice that you are deaf.

The wise are characterized by commendable distrust. As for myself, I teach and heal. I think and heal, Chirurgus sum [I am a healer (Latin)]. I heal from fever, from plague and other diseases.

I end my speech with advice: dear sirs and ladies, grow in your soul, in its brightest corner, such beautiful flowers as virtue, modesty, honesty, justice and love. Then each of us will be able, here in this world, to decorate our window with a small pot of flowers.

However, philosophy was now his only refuge, for he had nowhere to spend the night.

There are people who work, extracting gold from the bowels of the earth; he labored, extracting compassion from souls. His mine was the misery of the world. Sorrows scattered everywhere were for him only a constant reason to do good. "Love each other!" - he said, considering that everything was said by this, and wanting nothing more; that was the whole point of his teaching.
