Forget not yet the tried intent Of such a truth as I have meant; My great travail so gladly spent, Forget not yet!

Thomas Wyatt

Life will follow the path it started upon, and will neither reverse nor check its course; it will make no noise, it will not remind you of its swiftness.

Just as it was started on its first day, so it will run; nowhere will it turn aside, nowhere will it delay.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Leo Tolstoy
