“My house is small, but may heaven grant that it is never full of friends.”
“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.”
“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.”
“God grant that I may never live to be useless!”
“May peace rule the universe; may peace rule in kingdoms and empires; may peace rule in states and in the lands of the potentates; may peace rule in the house of friends and may peace also rule in the house of enemies.”
