Men for the sake of getting a living forget to live....

Only the dreamer shall understand realities, though in truth his dreaming must be not out of proportion to his waking.

The character and history of each child may be a new and poetic experience to the parent, if he will let it.

Man tells his aspiration in his God but in his demon he shows his depth of experience.

Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art.

It is utterly false and cruelly arbitrary to put all the play and learning into childhood, all the work into middle age, and all the regrets into old age.

Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.

Have regular hours for work and play make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life will become a beautiful success.
