All things change; nothing perishes

Dripping water hollows out stone, not through force but through persistence.

As wave is driven by wave
And each, pursued, pursues the wave ahead,
So time flies on and follows, flies, and follows,
Always, for ever and new. What was before
Is left behind; what never was is now;
And every passing moment is renewed.

Perfer et obdura; dolor hic tibi proderit olim.

It is the poor man who'll ever count his flock.

Beauty is a fragile gift.
