"Medicine is my lawful wife and literature my mistress; when I get tired of one, I spend the night with the other." — Anton Chekhov

The first day one is a guest, the second a burden, and the third a pest

When earth breaks up and heaven expands, how will the change strike me and you in the house not made with hands?

Progress is the law of life, man is not man as yet

Earth changes, but thy soul and God stand sure

Pleasure must succeed to pleasure, else past pleasure turns to pain

All conservatism is based upon the idea that if you leave things alone you leave them as they are. But you do not. If you leave a thing alone you leave it to a torrent of change
