A picture is a poem without words

It's a good thing to be foolishly gay once in a while.

Enjoy in happiness the pleasures which each hour brings with it.

Great effort is required to arrest decay and restore vigor. One must exercise proper deliberation, plan carefully before making a move, and be alert in guarding against relapse following a renaissance.

Wise were the kings who never chose a friend till with full cups they had unmasked his soul, and seen the bottom of his deepest thoughts.

Enjoy thankfully any happy hour heaven may send you, nor think that your delights will keep till another year.

Seest thou how pale the sated guest rises from supper, where the appetite is puzzled with varieties? The body, too, burdened with I yesterday's excess, weighs down the soul, and fixes to the earth this particle of the divine essence.
