Without TV, it's hard to know when one day ends and another begins.

The journey is the thing.

If you are one of earth’s inhabitants, how blest your father, and your gentle mother, blest all your kin. I know what happiness must send the warm tears to their eyes, each time they see their wondrous child go to the dancing! But one man’s destiny is more than blest—he who prevails, and takes you as his bride. Never have I laid eyes on equal beauty in man or woman. I am hushed indeed.

A generous heart repairs a slanderous tongue.

There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep.

...like that star of the waning summer who beyond all stars rises bathed in the ocean stream to glitter in brilliance.

Short is my date, but deathless my renown.
