Man, living, feeling man, is the easy sport of the over-mastering present.
Even in a righteous cause force is a fearful thing.
The first great law is to obey.
Lose not yourself in a far off time, seize the moment that is thine.
Of all the possessions of this life fame is the noblest; when the body has sunk into the dust the great name still lives.
O God, how lovely still is life!
