“He has seen but half the universe who never has been shown the house of Pain.”

“Years teach much which the days never knew.”

“Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same”

“That which we are, we shall teach, not voluntarily, but involuntarily. Thoughts come into our minds by avenues which we never left open, and thoughts go out of our minds through avenues which we never voluntarily opened.”

“The years teach us much, which the days never knew.”
