When a man turns a blessing from his door, it falls to them as take it in.
Reflect upon your present blessings – of which every man has many – not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.
It is a very mixed blessing to be brought back from the dead.
Every blessing ignored becomes a curse.
Blessed are the forgetful: for they “get the better” even of their blunders.[Selig sind die Vergesslichen: denn sie werden auch mit ihren Dummheiten “fertig.”]
