“Night came, but unattended with repose.Alone she came, no sleep their eyes to close.Alone and black she came; no friendly stars arose.”

“It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.”

“Whatever is, is in its causes just;But purblind manSees but a part o' th' chain; the nearest link;His eyes not carrying to that equal beamThat poises all above.”

“She fell asleep, and it was a sleep as thin as the night clouds, dotted with dreams that came and went like the stars.”

“Roused by the lash of his own stubborn tail, Our lion now will foreign foes assail.”

“None are so busy as the fool and knave.”

“Happy the man, and happy he alone, He who can call today his own: He who, secure within, can say, Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.”
