Lowliness is the base of every virtue, And he who goes the lowest builds the safest.
Remember that thy heart will shed its pleasures as thine eye its tears, and both leave loathsome furrows.
Could I love less, I should be happier now.
I cannot be content with less than heaven.
Fulfill thy fate! Be-do-bear-and thank God.
The temples perish, but the God still lives.
