But How Many Moments Are Already Past!

The Real Beggar Is Indeed The True And Only King.

As The Stag Which The Huntsman Has Hit Flies Through Bush And Brake, Over Stock And Stone, Thereby Exhausting His Strength But Not Expelling The Deadly Bullet From His Body; So Does Experience Show That They Who Have Troubled Consciences Run From Place To Place, But Carry With Them Wherever They Go Their Dangerous Wounds.

For Me The Greatest Beauty Always Lies In The Greatest Clarity.

The Most Agreeable Of All Companions Is A Simple, Frank Man, Without Any High Pretensions To An Oppressive Greatness; One Who Loves Life, And Understands The Use Of It; Obliging Alike At All Hours; Above All, Of A Golden Temper And Steadfast As An Anchor. For Such An One We Gladly Exchange The Greatest Genius, The Most Brilliant Wit, The Profoundest Thinker.

My God, Grant That My Bounty May Be A Clear And Transparent River, Flowing From Pure Charity, And Uncontaminated By Self-love, Ambition, Or Interest. Thanks Are Due Not To Me, But Thee, From Whom All I Possess Is Derived. And What Are The Paltry Gifts For Which My Neighbor Forgets To Thank Me, Compared With The Immense Blessings For Which I Have So Often Forgotten To Be Grateful To Thee!
