Fool that I was, upon my eagle's wings I bore this wren, till I was tired with soaring, and now he mounts above me.
From John Dryden
He who would search for pearls must dive below.
Let grace and goodness be the principal loadstone of thy affections. For love which hath ends, will have an end; whereas that which is founded on true virtue, will always continue.
Happy the man, and happy he alone, he who can call today his own; he who, secure within, can say, tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.
Boldness is a mask for fear, however great.
Only man clogs his happiness with care, destroying what is with thoughts of what may be.
Roused by the lash of his own stubborn tail our lion now will foreign foes assail.
When I consider life, it is all a cheat. Yet fooled with hope, people favor this deceit.
We first make our habits, and then our habits make us.
Beware the fury of a patient man.
