"Blessed are those who have learned to laugh at themselves."

"What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined."

"The moving moon went up the sky and nowhere did abide."

"A garden is the greatest refreshment to the troubled mind."

"The crown of life is neither joy nor peace but duty done well."

"The more we know, the less we understand the mystery of being."

"All too late comes wisdom to the fool."

"In the long run, goodness and truth will prevail."

"The path of true love never runs smooth."

"What matters it how far we go, if our goal is but a dream?"

"The tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil."

"Let each man make his own path through the forest of life."

"The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention."

"We are spirits clad in flesh, walking this earth for but a moment."

"The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions."

"Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers."

"Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control; these three alone lead life to sovereign power."

"Theirs not to reason why, theirs but to do and die."

"The old order changeth, yielding place to new."

"More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of."

"I am a part of all that I have met."

"One equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."

"It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."

"The world is full of sound and fury, yet we must find our own music."

"Friendship is the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words."

"Every moment dies a man; every moment one is born; we know not which."

"Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering that it will be happier."

"The mind is its own place, and can create its own heaven or hell."

"Truth bears a countenance so fierce that we must prepare ourselves to receive it."
