The greatest works of admiration, And all the fair examples of renown. Out of distress and misery are grown.

The stars that have most glory have no rest.

Beauty, sweet love, is like the morning dew, Whose short refresh upon tender green, Cheers for a time, but till the sun doth show And straight is gone, as it had never been.

Thus doth the ever-changing course of things Run a perpetual circle, ever turning; And that same day, that highest glory brings, Brings us unto the point of back-returning.

Care-charmer Sleep, son of the sable Night, Brother to Death, in silent darkness born; Relive my languish, and restore the light.

Love is a sickness full of woes, all remedies refusing.

Pow'r above pow'rs! O heavenly eloquence! That with the strong rein of commanding words, Dost manage, guide, and master th' eminence Of men's affections, more than all their swords!

Love is a sickness full of woes, All remedies refusing; A plant that with most cutting grows, Most barren with best using.

Striving to tell his woes, words would not come; For light cares speak, when mighty griefs are dumb.

Custom, that is before all law; Nature, that is above all art.

Flattery, the dangerous nurse of vice.

Be purpose oriented and remember that the ultimate source of joy is in giving

The satisfaction of winning/being a winner, comes with the dissatisfaction of seing losers

Many a man never fails because he never tries.

Every time you pass a law, it is a little bite out of freedom.

No one should be forced to carry the unfulfilled self of another.

It seems the more I try to connect with the world, I am feeling more alone than I ever have felt before

Dangling in space I realised I could always slip out of the harness. I looked forward to the peace of the great release.

I have no regrets. If you regret things, you're sort of stepping backwards. I'm a believer in going forwards.

Sometimes I'm angry, sometimes I'm not angry.

The history of mankind interests us only as it exhibits a steady gain of truth and right, in the incessant conflict which it records between the material and the moral nature.
