Modest Egotism Is The Salt

A Friend Is What The Heart Needs All The Time.

Of All The Things That Man Has Made, No Is So Full Of Interest And Charm, None Possesses So Distinct A Life And Character Of Its Own, As A Ship.

A Flawless Cup: How Delicate And Fine The Flowing Curve Of Every Jewelled Line! Look, Turn It Up Or Down, 'tis Perfect Still-- But Holds No Drop Of Life's Heart-warming Wine.

If Only The Best Birds Sang, The Forest Would Be Silent.

Like Water Spilt Upon The Ground--alas, Our Little Lives Flow Swiftly On And Pass; Yet May They Bring Rich Harvests And Green Grass!
