«Them's my sentiments»

«The hidden and awful Wisdom which apportions the destinies of mankind is pleased so to humiliate and cast down the tender, good and wise; and to set up the selfish, the foolish, or the wicked. Oh, be humble, my brother, in your prosperity! Be gentle with those who are less lucky, if not more deserving.»
«Business first; pleasure afterwards.»
«The rose upon my balcony the morning air perfuming,Was leafless all the winter time and pining for the spring.»

«Learn to admire rightly; the great pleasure of life is that.»
