Man’s yesterday may ne’er be like his morrow;
Nought may endure but Mutability.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

I knew my son was mortal.

Xenophon

We are not all capable of everything.

Virgil

Aristotle

“

Time bears away all things, even our minds.

Virgil

“

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations.

Abraham Lincoln
