Pain is no evil, unless it conquers us

Pain is no evil, unless it conquers us.

Evil often triumphs, but never conquers

There's no use doing a kindness if you do it a day too late.

It is a great evil, as well as a misfortune, to be unable to utter a prompt and decided 'no'.

If you try to cure evil with evil
you will add more pain to your fate.
