Arthur sat open to [[?]]
-The pain of an unfulfilled wish is small in comparison with that of repentance;  for the one stands in the presence of the vast open future, whilst the other has the irrevocable past closed behind it.

-He who binds to himself a joy
Does the wingèd life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sunrise.
[[line]] Book of Wisdom.

-And I was a witty child and had received a good soul.
And whereas I was more good, I came into a body undefiled.
And as I knew that I could not otherwise be continent, except God gave it, and this also was a point of wisdom, to know whose gift it was; I went to the Lord, and besought him, and said with my whole heart:
God of my fathers, and Lord of Mercy, who hast made all things with thy word, give me wisdom, that sitteth by Thy throne, and cast me not off from among Thy children! [[line]]
-For wisdom is a loving spirit. – 11.

Les accidents que surmontent les têtes fortes deviennent d’irréparables catastrophes pour de petits esprits.  Les événements ne sont jamais absolus, leurs résultats dépendent entièrement des individus: le malheur est un marchepied pour le génie, une piscine pour le chrétien, un trésor pour l’homme habile, pour les faibles un abîme. – Balzac.

-Io mi trov'ora in un castel fatato, 
Fatto per arte di negromanzia, 
Dove nessuno sa quel che si sia, 
E par che viva, ed è dentro incantato. 
– Gasparo Gozzi 

Inno di Goffredo Mameli.
Fratelli d'Italia,
L'Italia s'è desta,
Dell'elmo di Scipio
S'è cinta la testa;
Dov'è la Vittoria?
Le porga la chioma,
Ché schiava di Roma
Iddio la creò.
Stringiamci a coorte,
Siam pronti alla morte:
Italia chiamò.
