Good -humor is goodness and wisdom combined.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Those true eyes, Too pure and too honest in aught to disguise, The sweet soul shining through them.
