O body swayed to music,
O brightening glance,
How can we know the dancer from the dance?
William Butler Yeats
Think where man's glory most begins and ends,
And say my glory was I had such friends.
William Butler Yeats
When you are old and gray and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read ...
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face.
William Butler Yeats
Be wise with speed; a fool at forty is a fool indeed.
Edward Young
Think naught a trifle, though it small appear;
Small sands the mountain, moments make the year,
And trifles life.
Edward Young

I don't mind if I have to sit on the floor at school. All I want is education. And I'm afraid of no one.

The three grades of character are superior, medium and inferior: the superior is just good, the medium
is capable of development either in an upward or a downward direction, and the inferior is just evil.
Han Yu
Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving
things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.
