"Travel and society polish one, but a rolling stone gathers no moss, and a little moss is a good thing on a man" — John Burroughs

When the fight begins within himself, a man's worth something

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

We mortals cross the ocean of this world each in his average cabin of a life

The only fault's with time; all men become good creatures: but so slow!

Let age approve of youth, and death complete the same

Perhaps one has to be very old before one learns to be amused rather than shocked
