Fain would I climb, yet fear I to fall.
Walter Raleigh
I would fain grow old learning many things.
Plato
In its entirety, probably, it follows us at every instant; all that we have felt, thought and willed from our earliest infancy is there, leaning over the present which is about to join it, pressing against the portals of consciousness that would fain leave it outside.
Henri Bergson
In my afternoon walk I would fain forget all my morning occupations and my obligations to society.
Henry David Thoreau
We are always doing something for posterity, but I would fain see posterity do something for us.
Joseph Addison
