Think in the morning. Act in the noon. Eat in the evening. Sleep in the night.
You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.
The thankful receiver bears a plentiful harvest.
Do what you will, this world’s a fiction and is made up of contradiction.
A truth that’s told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.
I am in you and you in me, mutual in divine love.
No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.
Great things are done when men and mountains meet.
The true method of knowledge is experiment.
Where mercy, love, and pity dwell, there God is dwelling too.
The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.
To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palms of your hand and eternity in an hour.
The glory of Christianity is to conquer by forgiveness.
Opposition is true friendship.
It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.
A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees.
What is now proved was once only imagined.
Always be ready to speak your mind, and a base man will avoid you.
He who desires, but acts not, breeds pestilence.
The weak in courage is strong in cunning.
Excessive sorrow laughs. Excessive joy weeps.
Every Night and every Morn
Some to Misery are born.
Every Morn and every Night
Some are born to Sweet Delight,
Some are born to Endless Night.
The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.
The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind.
