There is no ghost so difficult to lay as the ghost of an injury.

If a man is worth knowing at all, he is worth knowing well.

The only thing a man knows is himself.

Yet through all, we know this tangled skein is in the hands of One, Who sees the end from the beginning: He shall unravel all.

I would rather be remembered by a song than by a victory.

There is nothing good in this world which time does not improve.

Eternity doth wear upon her face the veil of time. They only see the veil, and thus they know not what they stand so near!
