"Nature does require her time of preservation,..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“True, I talk of dreams, Which are the children of an idle brain, Begot of nothing but vain fantasy.”

“The rarer action is in virtue than in vengeance.”

“Ah me, how weak a thingThe heart of woman is!”

“When you know that someone close to you is going to die, there's a natural tendency to want to spend as much time with them as you can.”

“The flowers of life are but visionary. How many pass away and leave no trace behind! How few yield any fruit,--and the fruit itself, how rarely does it ripen! And yet there are flowers enough; and is it not strange, my friend, that we should suffer the little that does really ripen to rot, decay, and perish unenjoyed?”

“He that dies this year is quit for the next.”

“The wise man delights in water, the Good man delights in mountains. For the wise move; but the Good stay still. The wise are happy; but the good secure.”

“A breeze discovered my open book And began to flutter the leaves to look”

“Come with me into the woods where spring is advancing, as it does, no matter what, not being singular or particular, but one of the forever gifts, and certainly visible.”
