No man provokes me with impunity.

Time glides away and as we get older through the noiseless years; the days flee and are restrained by no reign.

Enhance and intensify one's vision of that synthesis of truth and beauty which is the highest and deepest reality.

All things change, nothing is extinguished. There is nothing in the whole world which is permanent. Everything flows onward; all things are brought into being with a changing nature; the ages themselves glide by in constant movement.

Neither can the wave that has passed by be recalled, nor the hour which has passed return again.

Tempus edax rerum. Time the devourer of everything.

Nothing is swifter than our years.
