On every thorn, delightful wisdom grows, In every rill a sweet instruction flows.
The man who consecrates his hours by vigorous effort, and an honest aim, at once he draws the sting of life and Death; he walks with nature; and her paths are peace.
Nothing but what astonishes is true.
Revere thyself, and yet thyself despise
Be wise with speed; a fool at forty is a fool indeed.
The man that blushes is not quite a brute.
