Know, thou, that the lines that live are turned out of a furrowed brow.

Let us speak, though we show all our faults and weaknesses, - for it is a sign of strength to be weak, to know it, and out with it - not in a set way and ostentatiously, though, but incidentally and without premeditation.

We cannot live for ourselves alone. Our lives are connected by a thousand invisible threads, and along these sympathetic fibers, our actions run as causes and return to us as results.

At sea a fellow comes out. Salt water is like wine, in that respect.

We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men.

To know how to grow old is the master work of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living.
