“From our birthday, until we die, Is but the winking of an eye. ”

“Love reckons hours for months, and days for years; and every little absence is an age”

“Nice and easy, does it all the time”

“I am a slow walker, but I never walk back”

“I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it up”

“Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time”
