But mighty Nature bounds as from her birth;
The sun is in the heavens, and life on earth:
Flowers in the valley, splendor in the beam,
Health on the gale, and freshness in the stream.

There are no bad teachers, only bad proverbs.

Books give not wisdom where there was none before.

He has gained enough who gives up a vain hope.

Gather your thoughts, sleep on them and then go from there.
