Day and night my thoughts incline
To the blandishments of wine:
Jars were made to drain, I think,
Wine, I know, was made to drink!

Joy may be a miser, But Sorrow’s purse is free.

Children are the keys of Paradise. … They alone are good and wise,
Because their thoughts, their very lives, are prayer.

Not what we would, but what we must, Makes up the sum of living; Heaven is both more and less than just In taking and in giving. - Richard Henry Stoddard
