We flatter those we scarcely know,We please the fleeting guest,And deal full many a thoughtless blowTo those who love us best.

One ship drives east and other drives west by the same winds that blow. It's the set of the sails and not the gales that determines the way they go.

Love lights more fires than hate extinguishes, and men grow better as the world grows old.

Be not impatient in delay,But wait as one who understands;When spirit rises and commands,The gods are ready to obey.

To sin by silence, when we should protest, Makes cowards out of men.

And the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through tears.
