Life is divided into three terms - that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present to live better in the future.
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more.
I heard a thousand blended notes, while in a grove I sat reclined, In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts bring sad thoughts to the mind.
That best portion of a good man's life: his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.
