The world's history is constant, like the laws of nature, and simple, like the souls of men. The same conditions continually produce the same results.

The will of man is his happiness.

Joy, in Nature's wide dominion, Mightiest cause of all is found; And 'tis joy that moves the pinion When the wheel of time goes round.

What is life without the radiance of love?

Thus Arm in Arm with thee I dare defy my century into the lists.

Lose not yourself in a far off time, seize the moment that is thine.

Life is earnest, art is gay.
