When health is lost, something is lost;
When character is lost, all is lost.

is always time enough for courtesy.

And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days o' auld lang syne?

a very present help in trouble.

himself famous hasn't been asleep.
Happiness grows at our own Tiresides,
and is not to be picked in
strangers’ gardens.

With colors that never fade,
And we find at the end of a perfect day,
The soul of a friend we've made.

Take Time

Take time to live; it is one secret of success.

Take time to think: it is the source of power.

Take time for play: it is the secret of youth.

Take time to read: it is the foundation of knowledge.

Take time for friendship: it is the source of happiness.

Take time to laugh: it helps to lift life's load.

Take time to dream: it hitches the soul to the stars.

Take time for God: it is life's only lasting investment.

The bread earned by the sweat of the brow is thrice blessed
bread, and it is far sweeter than the tasteless loaf of idleness.

--Crowquill

A liar is not believed even though he tell the truth.

--Cicero
