"Worldly fame is but a breath of wind that blows now this way, and now that, and changes name as it changes direction" — Dante Alighieri

When a culture feels that its end has come, it sends for a priest.

Love does not alter the beloved, it alters itself

And when he is out of sight, quickly also is he out of mind.

Remember that lost time does not return.

An hour-glass is a reminder not only of time's quick flight, but also of the dust to which we must at last return

Our deeds disguise us. People need endless time to try on their deeds, until each knows the proper deeds for him to do. But every day, every hour, rushes by. There is no time
