We are all of us richer than we think we are

Let us permit nature to have her way. She understands her business better than we do.

Desire and hope will push us on toward the future

The advantage of living is not measured by length, but by use; some men have lived long, and lived little; attend to it while you are in it. It lies in your will, not in the number of years, for you to have lived enough.

All the fame I look for in life is to have lived it quietly

There is no course of life so weak and sottish as that which is managed by order, method, and discipline.
