Finish every day and be done with it.

You have done what you could;

 forget them as soon as you can.

Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too

 high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

A friend is one of the nicest things you can have,

and one of the best things you can be.

 you didn't know you left open.

Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there,

wondering, fearing, Doubting,

dreaming dreams no mortal ever dreamed before.

It’s easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.

– William Blake, Jerusalem

The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us

and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us,

and we only know them when they are gone.

 – George Elliot
