--WILLIAM PENN.
We live in deeds, not years; in thought, 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.
--BAILEY.
This is the state of man; to-day he puts forth
The tender leaves of hope, to-morrow blossoms,
And bears his blushing honors thick upon him:
The third day, comes a frost, a killing frost;
And,--when he thinks, good easy man, full surely
His greatness is a ripening,--nips his root,
And then he falls.
--SHAKESPEARE.
The end of life is to be like unto God; and the soul following God,
will be like unto Him; He being the beginning, middle, and end of all
things.--SOCRATES.
For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon
earth are a shadow.--JOB 8:9.
You and I are now nearly in middle age, and have not yet become soured
and shrivelled with the wear and tear of life. Let us pray to be
delivered from that condition where life and nature have no fresh,
sweet sensations for us.--JAMES A. GARFIELD.
It matters not how a man dies, but how he lives.--DR. JOHNSON.
I slept and dreamed that life was beauty;
I woke and found that life was duty.
--ELLEN STURGIS HOOPER.
The truest end of life is to know the life that never ends.--WILLIAM
PENN.
Let those who thoughtfully consider the brevity of life remember the
length of eternity.
