I walked a mile with Pleasure,
She chatted all the way,
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.
I walked a mile with Sorrow,
And ne'er word said she
But, oh, the things I learned from her
When Sorrow walked with me!
Life is an empty dream.

Paracelsus
All's love, yet all's law.

Saul

Truth never hurt the teller.

Fifine at the Fair
And gain is gain, however small.
So may a glory from defect arise.

Deaf and Dumb

Rafael made a century of sonnets.
