Better one thorn pluck'd out than all remain.
Naked I seek the camp of those who desire nothing.
Sad people dislike the happy, and the happy the sad; the quick thinking the sedate, and the careless the busy and industrious.
Forgetful of thy tomb thou buildest houses.
Seize the day, and put the least possible trust in tomorrow.
No man ever reached to excellence in any one art or profession without having passed through the slow and painful process of study and preparation.
