"Oh, the tangled webs we weave When we practice to deceive. "

"Oh, what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive "

"To all, to each, a fair good night, And pleasing dreams, and slumbers light. "

"We shall never learn to feel and respect our real calling and destiny, unless we have taught ourselves to consider everything as moonshine, compared with the education of the heart. "
