All unrest is but the struggle of the soul to reassure herself of her inborn immortality.

The history of books shows the humblest origin of some of the most valued, wrought as these were out of obscure materials by persons whose names thereafter became illustrious. The thumbed volumes, now so precious to thousands, were compiled from personal experiences and owe their interest to touches of inspiration of which the writer was less author than amanuensis, himself the voiced word of life for all times.

A sip is the most than mortals are permitted from any goblet of delight.

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.
