We may live without poetry, music and art; We may live without conscience, and live without heart; We may live without friends; we may live without books; But civilized man cannot live without cooks. . . . He may live without books,-what is knowledge but grieving? He may live without hope,-what is hope but deceiving? He may live without love,-what is passion but pining? But where is the man that can live without dining?

A fresh mind keeps the body fresh. Take in the ideas of the day, drain off those of yesterday. As to the morrow, time enough to consider it when it becomes today.

Good -humor is goodness and wisdom combined.

Heaven's slow but sure redress of human ills.

Alas! must it ever be so? Do we stand in our own light, wherever we go, And fight our own shadows forever?

Rest is sweet after strife.

The world is a nettle; disturb it, it stings. Grasp it firmly, it stings not.
