And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.

Ay, when the special thing is well obtain’d,
That is,—her love; for that is all in all.

Shakespeare.—Taming of the Shrew, Act II. Scene 1. (Baptista to Petruchio.)

All Nature is but Art, unknown to thee;
All chance, direction, which thou canst not see;
All discord, harmony not understood;
All partial evil, universal good;
And, spite of pride, in erring reason’s spite,
One truth is clear, Whatever is, is right.
