Sorrow is brief but joy is endless
Eternity gives nothing back of what one leaves out of the minutes.
Lose not yourself in a far off time, seize the moment that is thine.
Speech is always bolder than action.
We, we live! ours are the hours, and the living have their claims.
Every great mind seeks to labor for eternity. All men are captivated by immediate advantages; great minds alone are excited by the prospect of distant good.
