Life is good, but not life in itself.

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

Love thou the rose, yet leave it on its stem.

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

Since we parted yester eve, I do love thee, love, believe, Twelve times dearer, twelve hours longer,- One dream deeper, one night stronger, One sun surer,-thus much more Than I loved thee, love, before.
