"Sweet is the memory of past troubles...." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter.”

“Any man may make a mistake; none but a fool will stick to it. Second thoughts are best as the proverb says.”

“Do nothing twice over.”

“I remember, when I was a child and wrote poems in little clasped books, I used to kiss the books and put them away tenderly because I had been happy near them, and take them out by turns when I was going from home, to cheer them by the change of air and the pleasure of the new place. This, not for the sake of the verses written in them, and not for the sake of writing more verses in them, but from pure gratitude.”

“The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.”

“I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore; While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray, I hear it in the deep heart's core.”

“Even within the seemingly most unacceptable and painful situation is concealed a deeper good, and within every disaster is contained the seed of grace.”

“Live as brave men; and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts.”

“You know the rule: If you are falling, dive. Do the thing that has to be done.”
