All things here appear to me to trudge on in one and the same round: we rise in the morning that we may eat breakfast, dinner andsupper and to bed again that we may get up the next morning and do the same: so that you never saw two peas more alike than our yesterday and to-day.

Always take hold of things by the smooth handle grateful that they are not worse rather than the rough handle, bitter that they are not better.

The Earth is given as a common for men to labor and live in.

Knowledge is power...knowled ge is safety...knowle dge is happiness.
