Do not think that years leave us and find us the same!

Unseen hands delay The coming of what oft seems close in ken, And, contrary, the moment, when we say "'Twill never come!" comes on us even then.

Who knows nothing base, Fears nothing known.

No one will learn anything at all, unless one first will learn humility.

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

Sorrows humanize our race; tears are the showers that fertilize the world.

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.
