"The worst thing about some men is that when they are not drunk they are sober."

"We are happy when for everything inside us there is a corresponding something outside us."

"The years like great black oxen tread the world, And God the herdsman goads them on behind, And I am broken by their passing feet."

"The intellect of man is forced to choose perfection of the life, or of the work."
