“Come, my best friends, my best books, and lead me on.”

“May I a small house and large garden have;And a few friends,And many books, both true.”

“Ere I descend to th' grave,May I a small house and large garden have; And a few friends, and many books.”

“What shall I do to be for ever known,And make the age to come my own?”

“Ah yet, ere I descend to the grave, May I a small house and large garden have; And a few friends, and many books, both true, both wise and both delightful too.”

“Hope is the most hopeless thing of all.”

“Banish business, banish sorrow. To the gods belongs tomorrow.”
