There is no past we can bring back by longing for it. There is only an eternal now that builds and creates out of the past something new and better.
Before you can do something, you must first be something.
If you start to think of your physical and moral condition, you usually find that you are sick.
The sea is flowing ever, The land retains it never.
Out of moderation a pure happiness springs.
If you modestly enjoy your fame you are not unworthy to rank with the holy.
