Fortune! There is no fortune; all is trial, or punishment, or recompense, or foresight. [ Voltaire ]

The name of a mother! what a long history does it bring with it of smiles and words of mildness, of tears shed by night and of sighings at the morning dawn, of love unrequited, of cares for which there can be no recompense on earth. [ Prof. Park ]

We are not fond of praising, and never praise any one except from interested motives.

The one takes it as a recompense of his merit, and the other bestows it to display his equity and discernment. [ Rochefoucauld ]
