"What Youth deemed crystal, Age finds out was dew."
"What's a man's age? He must hurry more, that's all; Cram in a day, what his youth took a year to hold."
"A face to lose youth for, to occupy age With the dream of, meet death with."
"Finds progress, man's distinctive mark alone, Not God's, and not the beast's; God is, they are, Man partly is, and wholly hopes to be."
"Love is energy of life."
"Fail I alone, in words and deeds? Why, all men strive and who succeeds?"
"Take away love and our earth is a tomb."
"Like dogs in a wheel, birds in a cage, or squirrels in a chain, ambitious men still climb and climb, with great labor, and incessant anxiety, but never reach the top."
