A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.
They certainly give very strange names to diseases.
I have never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.
He who is the author of a war lets loose the whole contagion of hell and opens a vein that bleeds a nation to death.
Please clouds, just go away. Let me see space.
Get busy living or get busy dying
