We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths;
In feelings, not in figures on a dial.

Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.

Beginning, mean, and end to all things, — God.
The dead have all the glory of the world.

His mind a thought, his life a breath of God;
And let each try, by great thoughts and good deeds,
To show the most of Heaven he hath in him.
