Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.

They that have lived a single day have lived an age.

We hope to grow old and we dread old age; that is to say, we love life and we flee from death.

Two persons cannot long be friends if they cannot forgive each other's little failings.

Those who make the worst use of their time are the first to complain of its shortness.

Pure friendship is something which men of an inferior intellect can never taste.
