"Time will explain it all. Waste no..." - Quote by Euripides

“Along with success comes a reputation for wisdom.”

“It is wise to withhold one's heart and mind from men who think themselves superior.”

“The meanest life is better than the most glorious death.”

“The general rule is that my life is focused on the present, and very little on the past. If anything, I'm a little bit more focused toward the future.”

“You can't always control the wind, but you can control your sails.”

“When life has been well spent, age is a loss of what it can well spare,--muscular strength, organic instincts, gross bulk, and works that belong to these. But the central wisdom, which was old in infancy, is young in fourscore years, and dropping off obstructions, leaves in happy subjects the mind purified and wise.”

“Try as they may to savor the taste of eternity, their thoughts still twist and turn upon the ebb and flow of things in past and future time. But if only their minds could be seized and held steady, they would be still for a while and, for that short moment, they would glimse the splendor of eternity, which is forever still.”

“Do not wait for the Last Judgment. It takes place every day.”

“Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains.”
