"What is called genius is the abundance of life and health" — Henry David Thoreau

The life given us by nature is short, but the memory of a life well spent is eternal.

Beat your wife on the wedding day, and your married life will be happy

Life is a dream walking, death is a going home

Life is like the desert, life the solitude, death joins us to the great majority

A birthday: and now a day that rose with much of hope, with meaning rife. A thoughtful day from dawn to close: the middle day of human life

All my life I still have found, and I will forget it never; every sorrow hath its bound, and no cross endures forever.
