To govern was to serve, not to rule.
Many things have fallen only to rise higher.
Most men ebb and flow in wretchedness between the fear of death and the hardship of life; they are unwilling to live, and yet they do not know how to die.
God is near you, is with you, is inside you.
We are taught for the schoolroom, not for life.
Beauty is such a fleeting blossom, how can wisdom rely upon its momentary delight?
