No greater grief than to remember days of gladness when sorrow is at hand.
The lamp of genius burns quicker than the lamp of life.
Glory to Women! They weave and entwine heavenly roses into an earthly life.
There is more to life than just existing and having a pleasant time.
We, we live! ours are the hours, and the living have their claims.
Life did not present its sunny side to thee.
Wouldst thou wisely, and with pleasure, Pass the days of life's short measure, From the slow one counsel take, But a tool of him ne'er make; Ne'er as friend the swift one know, Nor the constant one as foe.
The May of life blooms once and never again.
O'er Ocean, with a thousand masts, sails forth the stripling bold- One boat, hard rescued from the deep, draws into port the old!
The game of life looks cheerful when one carries a treasure safe in his heart.
His saying was: live and let live.
What is life without the radiance of love?
Love is only known by him who hopelessly persists in love.
O tender yearning, sweet hoping! The golden time of first love! The eye sees the open heaven, The heart is intoxicated with bliss; O that the beautiful time of young love Could remain green forever.

Ah, to that far distant strand Bridge there was not to convey, Not a bark was near at hand, Yet true love soon found the way.
O that it might remain eternally green, The beautiful time of youthful love.
I have enjoyed earthly happiness, I have lived and loved.
Life is earnest, art is gay.
O God, how lovely still is life!
Whatever lives, lives to die in sorrow. We engage our hearts, and grasp after the things of this world, only to undergo the pang of losing them.
There is room in the smallest cottage for a happy loving pair.
Mankind is made great or little by its own will.
If you want to know yourself, Just look how others do it; If you want to understand others, Look into your own heart. What is life without the radiance of love?
