They only fall, that strive to move, Or lose, that care to keep.

Be it jewel or toy, not the prize gives the joy, but the striving to win the prize.

Good -humor is goodness and wisdom combined.

Truth makes on the ocean of nature no one track of light; every eye, looking on, finds its own.

There is nothing certain in a man's life but that he must lose it.

The world is filled with folly and sin, And Love must cling, where it can, I say: For Beauty is easy enough to win; But one isn't loved every day.

Only by knowledge of that which is not thyself, shall thyself be learned.
