If things look badly to-day they may look better tomorrow.

We rarely find anyone who can say he has lived a happy life, and who, content with his life, can retire from the world like a satisfied guest.

Carpe diem. (Seize the day.)

In avoiding one vice fools rush into the opposite extreme.

Our years Glide silently away. No tears, No loving orisons repair The wrinkled cheek, the whitening hair That drop forgotten to the tomb.

Joys do not fall to the rich alone; nor has he lived ill of whose birth and death no one took note.

What we hear strikes the mind with less force than what we see.
