able to see what others can not

have experienced many vicissitudes of life

to run the gamut of emotions(A multitude of feelings surge up.)

surpassing all others

sworn brother (sister)

inevitable course(necessary way; the road one must follow or take; the only way)

absolutely necessary(indispensable)

act recklessly(disregard the fate; do not know the consequences)

Make no reply

have weathered many storms

handle a matter impartially

neither dark nor bright

remain perplexed despite much thought

stick in the mud

too many to recount

commit violations of law and discipline

All kinds of things

hold one's breath in deep concentration

to take up the cudgels against an injustice

to be nowhere(to fail to achieve anything)
