There is a limit circumscribed to your time – if you do not use it to clear away your clouds, it will be gone, and you will be gone, and the opportunity will not return

Remember this - that there is a proper dignity and proportion to be observed in the performance of every act of life.

Nature in no case cometh short of art, for the arts are copiers of natural forms.

Does the light of the lamp shine without losing its splendour until it is extinguished; and shall the truth which is in thee and justice and temperance be extinguished before thy death?

The world is nothing but change, our life is only perception.
