Enjoy the present hour, Be thankful for the past, And neither fear nor wish Th' approaches of the last.
Vain, weak-built isthmus, which dost proudly rise Up between two eternities!
The getting out of doors is the greatest part of the journey.
Acquaintance I would have, but when it depends; not on number, but the choice of friends.
Of all ills that one endures, hope is a cheap and universal cure.
Curiosity does, no less than devotion, pilgrims make.
