●Average minds discuss events;
　　●Small minds discuss people.
　　●He who loses money, loses much;
　　●He who loses a friend, loses much more;
　　●He who loses faith, loses all.
　　●Beautiful young people are accidents of nature,
　　●But beautiful old people are works of art.
　　●Learn from the mistakes of others
　　●You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.

 
 
 
How do I love thee by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861)
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death
