Zitat des Tages von Thomas Gray:
The paths of glory lead but to the grave.
'Tis folly to be wise.
Too poor for a bribe, and too proud to importune, he had not the method of making a fortune.
Youth smiles without any reason. It is one of its chiefest charms.
Poetry is thoughts that breathe, and words that burn.
And weep the more, because I weep in vain.
Commerce changes the fate and genius of nations.
If the best man's faults were written on his forehead, he would draw his hat over his eyes.
He gave to misery (all he had) a tear.
I shall be but a shrimp of an author.
Alas, regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come, nor care beyond today.
Where ignorance is bliss, 'Tis folly to be wise.
