No one can have all he desires.

Apples taste sweetest when they're going.

If God adds another day to our life, let us receive it gladly.

We all sorely complain of the shortness of time, and yet have much more than we know what to do with. Our lives are either spent in doing nothing at all, or in doing nothing to the purpose, or in doing nothing that we ought to do. We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end of them.

We have not to talk, but to steer the vessel.

Retirement without the love of letters is a living burial.

No crime has been without a precedent.
