Love is anterior to life, posterior to death, initial of creation, and the exponent of breath.

Luck is not chance, it's toil; fortune's expensive smile is earned.

Morning without you is a dwindled dawn.

My friends are my estate.

Not knowing when the dawn will come I open every door.

Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought.

Parting is all we know of heaven, and all we need of hell.

People need hard times and oppression to develop psychic muscles.

Saying nothing... sometimes says the most.

Success is counted sweetest by those who never succeed.

Tell the truth, but tell it slant.

That it will never come again is what makes life sweet.

The brain is wider than the sky.
