Creatures of a day, what is any one? What is he not? Man is but a dream of a shadow. Yet when there comes as a gift of heaven a gleam of sunshine, there rest upon men a radiant light and, aye, a gentle life.

When men succeed, even their neighbors think them wise.

A thing said walks in immortality if it has been said well.

To be envied is a nobler fate than to be pitied.

The days that are still to come are the wisest witnesses.

Time is the turning over of days, works change for better or worse.

Skills vary with the man. We must tread a straight path and strive by that which is born in us.
