"Love moderately; long love doth so; too..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Who are the violets nowThat strew the lap of the new-come spring?”

“All human beings have failings, all human beings have needs and temptations and stresses. Men and women who live together through long years get to know one another's failings; but they also come to know what is worthy of respect and admiration in those they live with and in themselves. If at the end one can say, This man used to the limit the powers that God granted him; he was worthy of love and respect and of the sacrifices of many people, made in order that he might achieve what he deemed to be his task, then that life has been lived well and there are no regrets.”

“A wise man will desire no more than what he may get justly, use soberly, distribute cheerfully, and leave contently.”

“Bring your desires down to your present means. Increase them only when your increased means permit.”

“One thing we have endeavoured to observe most scrupulously, namely, never to depart from the strictest facts and, in dealing with the difficult questions that have arisen during the year, we hope that we have used the utmost moderation possible under the circumstances.”
