LEISURE. 
Let it be remembered, that only in leisure will the human mind yield many 
of its best products. G-ood ideas, it’s true, flash in a moment on the mind: but 
they are very ciude then; and they must be mellowed and matured by time and 
leisure. 
— Anon. 
LIFE. 
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. 
— Bayly’s Festus. 
LIFE WE PRAISE. 
Circles are praised, not that excel 
In largeness, but th’ exactly framed; 
So life we praise, that does excel 
Hot in much time, but acting well. 
— Waller. 
LIVE IN TO-DAY. 
Oh, the rare spring flowers! take them as they come; 
Do not wait for the summer buds—they may never bloom. 
Every sweet to-day sends, we are wise to save; 
Roses bloom for pulling; the path is to the grave. 
—John Boyle O'Reilly. 
LOVE. 
True love’s the gift which God has given 
To man alone beneath the Heaven. 
It is the secret sympathy, 
The silver link, the silken tie, 
Which heart to heart, and mind to mind, 
In body and in soul can bind. 
— W. Scott. 
If we love one another, 
Nothing, in truth, can harm us. 
Whatever mischances may happen. 
— Longfellow.
