An artist should have more than two eyes.

History is neither more nor less than biography on a large scale.

Friendship, sweet-resting place of the soul, the gloaming wherein our hearts find peace.

Thou makest the man, O Sorrow!--yes, the whole man,--as the crucible gold.

Love of country produces among men such examples as Cincinnatus, Alfred, Washington--pure, unselfish, symmetrical; among women, Vittoria Colonna, Madame Roland, Charlotte Corday, Jeanne Darc--romantic, devoted, marvelous.

It is admirable to die the victim of one's faith; it is sad to die the dupe of one's ambition.

Sad is his lot, who, once at least in his life, has not been a poet.
