The present will not long endure.
Not every truth is the better for showing its face undisguised; and often silence is the wisest thing for a man to heed.
The noblest of the elements is water
One race there is of men, one of gods, but from one mother we both draw our breath.
To be envied is a nobler fate than to be pitied.
If one but tell a thing well, it moves on with undying voice, and over the fruitful earth and across the sea goes the bright gleam of noble deeds ever unquenchable.
