Be Thy Sleep Silent As Night Is,

Ships That Pass In The Night, And Speak Each Other In Passing, Only A Signal Shown, And A Distant Voice In The Darkness; So On The Ocean Of Life, We Pass And Speak One Another, Only A Look And A Voice, Then Darkness Again And A Silence.

Whatever Poet, Orator, Or Sage May Say Of It, Old Age Is Still Old Age.

Welcome, Disappointment! Thy Hand Is Cold And Hard, But It Is The Hand Of A Friend. Thy Voice Is Stern And Harsh, But It Is The Voice Of A Friend. Oh, There Is Something Sublime In Calm Endurance, Something Sublime In The Resolute, Fixed Purpose Of Suffering Without Complaining, Which Makes Disappointment Oftentimes Better Than Success!

Great Is The Art Of Beginning, But Greater Is The Art Of Ending.

It Is True, That It Is Not At All Necessary To Love Many Books, In Order To Love Them Much.
