“How slight and insignificant is the thing which casts down or restores a mind greedy for praise.”

“Remember when life's path is steep to keep your mind even.Horace”

“The aim of the poet is to inform or delight, or to combine together, in what he says, both pleasure and applicability to life. In instructing, be brief in what you say in order that your readers may grasp it quickly and retain it faithfully. Superfluous words simply spill out when the mind is already full. Fiction invented in order to please should remain close to reality.”

“Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered for they are gone forever.”

“he who is greedy is always in want”

“Pale Death with impartial tread beats at the poor man's cottage door and at the palaces of kings.”
