To have a full stomach and fixed income are no small things .

Nothing is permanent but change.

Destruction, violence, ravages, murder, are perpetrated by statute law.

Old ways will always remain unless some one invents a new way and then lives and dies for it

I wish to live without hate, whim, jealousy, envy, and fear. I wish to be simple, honest, frank, natural . . to face any obstacle and meet every difficulty unabashed and unafraid.

If pleasures are greatest in anticipation, just remember that this is also true of trouble.

The best way to prepare for life is to begin to live.
