There are occasions when the general belief of the people, even though it be groundless, works its effect as sure as truth itself.

Heaven and earth fight in vain against a dunce!

There are evil spirits who suddenly fix their abode in man's unguarded breast, causing us to commit devilish deeds, and then, hurrying back to their native hell, leave behind the stings of remorse in the poisoned bosom.

The May of life blooms once and never again.

The happy man does not notice the flight of time.

When the measured dance of the hours brings back the happy smile of spring, the buried dead is born again in the life-glance of the sun. The germs which perished to the eye within the cold breast of the earth spring up with joy in the bright realm of day.

A noble heart will always capitulate to reason.
