Quickly, bring me a beaker of wine, so that I may wet my mind and say something clever.

The old are in a second childhood.

Today things are better than yesterday.

Ye Children of Man! whose life is a span, Protracted with sorrow from day to day, Naked and featherless, feeble and querulous, Sickly, calamitous creatures of clay!
