Death takes us piecemeal, not at a gulp.
That day which you fear as being the end of all things is the birthday of your eternity.
Life is short and art is long.
Time hath often cured the wound which reason failed to heal.
The wise man lives as long as he should, not just as long as he likes.
He that does good to another does good also to himself, not only in the consequence but in the very act. For the consciousness of well-doing is in itself ample reward.
