To live the greatest number of good hours is wisdom.
Give me health and a day, and I will make the pomp of emperors ridiculous.
A mind might ponder its thought for an epoch, and not gain so much self-knowledge as the passion of love shall teach in a day.
Beauty rests on necessities.
Though I am weak, yet God, when prayed, Cannot withhold his conquering aid.
Nor count compartments of the floors, But mount to paradise By the stairway of surprise.
