<p>Ask yourself whether the dream of heaven and greatness should be left waiting for us in our graves—or whether it should be ours here and now and on this earth.</p>
<p>God save us from seeing a Russian revolt$$$ senseless and merciless. Those who plot impossible upheavals among us$$$ are either young and do not know our people$$$ or are hard-hearted men who do not care a straw either about their own lives or those of others.</p>
<p>Know thyself$$$ presume not God to scan;<br />
The proper study of mankind is man.</p>
<p>Whatever is$$$ is right.</p>
<p>Charms strike the sight$$$ but merit wins the soul.</p>
<p>We loved with a love that was more than love.</p>
<p>You purchase pain with all that joy can give and die of nothing but a rage to live.</p>
<p>For life$$$ too$$$ is only an instant. Only the dissolving of ourselves in the selves of all others$$$ as if bestowing a gift.</p>
<p>Poetry searches for music amidst the tumult of the dictionary.</p>
<p>On a large enough time line$$$ the survival rate for everyone will drop to zero.</p>
