We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.
It is much less what we do than what we think, which fits us for the future.
Lowliness is the base of every virtue, And he who goes the lowest builds the safest.
Fulfill thy fate! Be-do-bear-and thank God.
We live not to ourselves, our work is life.
Mind and night will meet, though in silence, like forbidden lovers.
