Time is the devourer of all things.

Opportunity is ever worth expecting; let your hood be ever hanging ready. The fish will be in the pool where you least imagine it to be.

Sleep ... peace of the soul, who puttest care to flight.

Nothing in the entire universe ever perishes, believe me, but things vary, and adopt a new form. The phrase being born is used for beginning to be something different from what one was before, while dying means ceasing to be the same. Though this thing may pass into that, and that into this, yet the sums of things remains unchanged.

Why should I go into details, we have nothing that is not perishable except what our hearts and our intellects endows us with.

Take the advice of light when you're looking at linens or jewels; Looking at faces or forms, take the advice of the day.

Sleep, nature's rest, divine tranquility, That brings peace to the mind.
