My name is Death: the last best friend am I.
There is healing in the bitter cup.
Live as long as you may, the first twenty years are the longest half of your life.
There is another world for all that live and move-a better one!
Live as long as you may, the first twenty years are the longest half of your life. They appear so while they are passing; they seem to have been so when we look back on them; and they take up more room in our memory than all the years that succeed them.
Happy it were for us all if we bore prosperity as well and as wisely as we endure adverse fortune.
