The present will not long endure.
Water is the best of all things.
Success for the striven washes away the effort of striving.
Point thy tongue on the anvil of truth.
Natural ability is by far the best, but many men have succeeded in winning high renown by skill that is the fruit of teaching.
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.
