Health is the vital principle of bliss, and exercise, of health.
Peace is the happy natural state of man; war is corruption and disgrace.
Statues and pictures and verse may be grand, But they are not the Life for which they stand.
More firm and sure the hand of courage strikes, when it obeys the watchful eye of caution.
The world rolls round forever like a mill; it grinds out death and life and good and ill; it has no purpose, heart or mind or will.
