But over all things brooding slept — Loss

"Things that are not at all, are never lost."

"Our wasted oil unprofitably burns, Like hidden lamps in old sepulchral urns."

"Si quis mutuum quid dederit, sit pro proprio perditum; Cum repetas, inimicum amicum beneficio invenis tuo. Si mage exigere cupias, duarum rerum exoritur optio; Vel illud, quod credideris perdas, vel illum amicum, amiseris."

"For tis a truth well known to most, That whatsoever thing is lost, We seek it, ere it comes to light, In every cranny but the right."

"When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; When health is lost, something is lost; When character is lost, all is lost!"

"Beaten paths are for beaten men."
