Hormones, vitamines, stimulants and depressives are oils upon the creaky machinery of life. Principal item, however, is the machinery. – Martin H. Fischer (1879–1962)
Life is the fire that burns and the sun that gives light. Life is the wind and the rain and the thunder in the sky. Life is matter and is earth, what is and what is not, and what beyond is in Eternity. – Seneca
We lovd, and we lovd as long as we could Til our love was lovd out in us both; But our marriage is dead, when the pleasure has fled: Twas pleasure that made it an oath. – John Dryden
