Do not wait for extraordinary circumstances to do good action; try to use ordinary situations.
From Jean Paul
Be great in act, as you have been in thought.
Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.
Recollection is the only paradise from which we cannot be turned out.
The more sand that has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.
Every man regards his own life as the New Year's Eve of time.
Two aged men, that had been foes for life, Met by a grave, and wept - and in those tears They washed away the memory of their strife; Then wept again the loss of all those years.
Like a morning dream, life becomes more and more bright the longer we live, and the reason of everything appears more clear. What has puzzled us before seems less mysterious, and the crooked paths look straighter as we approach the end.
A man never discloses his own character so clearly as when he describes anothers.
Courage consists not in blindly overlooking danger, but in seeing it, and conquering it.
