• Fear not for the future, weep not for the past.

• History is a cyclic poem written by Time upon the memories of man.

• Our sweetest songs are those that tell the saddest thoughts.

• We look before and after, And pine for what is not Our sincerest laughter With some pain is fraught Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.
