How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank. <BR>Here will we sit, and let the sounds of music <BR>Creep in our ears; soft stillness, and the night <BR>Become the touches of sweet harmony.
A high hope for a low heaven.
Be just and fear not.
Teach thy necessity to reason thus; There is no virtue like necessity.
No sooner met but they looked; no sooner looked but they loved; no sooner loved but they sighed; no sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason; no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy.
For so work the honey-bees, creatures that by a rule in nature teach the act of order to a peopled kingdom.
All that lives must die, Passing through nature to eternity.
She that was ever fair and never proud, <BR>Had tongue at will, and yet was never loud.
We were not born to sue, but to command.
The common curse of mankind, -- folly and ignorance.
Love is a wonderful, terrible thing.
We are born to die.
I am myself indifferent honest.
There is occasions and causes why and wherefore in all things.
Listen to many, speak to a few.
