Who thinks most, feels noblest, acts the best.”

“Say gray-beards what they please,
The heart of age is like an emptied wine-cup;
Its life lies in a heel-tap: how can age judge?
’Twere a waste of time to ask how they wasted theirs;
But while the blood is bright, breath sweet, skin smooth,
And limbs all made to minister delight;
Ere yet we have shed our locks, like trees their leaves,
And we stand staring bare into the air;
He is a fool who is not for love and beauty.”
― Festus: A Poem

“1} "The worst way to improve the world is to condemn it."
2} "Music lives within thy lips Like a nightingale in roses."
3} Worthy books Are not companions--they are solitudes: We lose ourselves in them and all our cares.
4)Evil and good are God's right hand and left.”

“We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths;
In feelings, not in figures on a dial.
We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives
Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.
And he whose heart beats quickest lives the longest:
Lives in one hour more than in years do some.”
