When you were born you were crying and everyone else was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you're the one wo is smiling and everyone else is crying.
Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
A ruddy drop of manly blood
The surging sea outweighs
The world uncertain comes and goes
The lover rooted stays
The surging sea outweighs
The world uncertain comes and goes
The lover rooted stays

1Our life is March weather, savage and serene in one hour.
We say the cows laid out Boston. Well, there are worse surveyors.
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of the intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the beauty in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that one life has breathed easier because you lived here. This is to have succeeded.
The age of a woman doesn't mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles.
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
Nature always wears the colors of the spirit.
A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.
Men are what their mothers made them.
Earth laughs in flowers.
In the woods, too, a man casts off his years, as the snake his slough, and at what period soever of life, is always a child. In the woods is perpetual youth.
