The quotes
Every gift which is given, even though it be small, is in reality great, if it is given with affection.
Men are the dreams of a shadow.
Even wisdom has to yield to self-interest.
The present will not long endure.
Whatever is beautiful is beautiful by necessity.
The best of healers is good cheer.
Learn what you are and be such.
Great deeds give choice of many tales. Choose a slight tale, enrich it large, and then let wise men listen.
The days that are still to come are the wisest witnesses.
A graceful and honorable old age is the childhood of immortality.
Seek not, my soul, the life of the immortals; but enjoy to the full the resources that are within thy reach.
The test of any man lies in action.
