I just want to say, good night, sweet prince, may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
When ambitious desires arise in thy heart, recall the days of extremity thou have passed through. Forbearance is the root of all quietness and assurance forever.
Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories.
There's not a wind but whispers of thy name; And not a flow'r that grows beneath the moon, But in its hues and fragrance tells a tale Of thee, my love.
Great comforts do, indeed, bear witness to the truth of thy grace, but not to the degree of it; the weak child is oftener in the lap than the strong one.
Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Let bravery be thy choice, but not bravado.
Welcome, wild harbinger of spring! To this small nook of earth; Feeling and fancy fondly cling, Round thoughts which owe their birth, To thee, and to the humble spot, Where chance has fixed thy lowly lot.
Put off thy cares with thy clothes; so shall thy rest strengthen thy labor, and so thy labor sweeten thy rest.
