"The surest poison is time...." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Rings and other jewels are not gifts, but apologies for gifts. The only gift is a portion of thyself.”

“The cheapness of man is every day's tragedy. It is as real a loss that others should be low, as that we should be low; for we musthave a society.”

“Difference of opinion is the one crime which kings never forgive.”

“The world leaves no track in space, and the greatest action of man no mark in the vast idea.”

“It is not what a man knows, but what he thinks of in time.”

“Time doesn't seem to pass here: it just is.”

“Time is so strange and life is twice as strange. You must promise me not to live to be too old, William. It if is at all convenient, die before you're fifty. It my take a bit of doing. But I advise this is simply because there is no telling when another Helen Loomis might be born. It would be dreadful, wouldn't it, if you lived on to be very very old and some afternoon in 1999 walked down Main street and saw me standing there, aged twenty-one, and the whole thing out of balance again?”

“In me thou see'st the twilight of such day As after sunset fadeth in the west, Which by and by black night doth take away Death's second self, that seals up all in rest. -Sonnet 73”

“Dead men have no victory.”
