One must espouse some pursuit, taking it kindly at heart and with enthusiasm.
One's outlook is a part of his virtue.
One must be rich in thought and character to owe nothing to books.
Success is sweet and sweeter if long delayed and gotten through many struggles and defeats.
The richest minds need not large libraries.
Sympathy wanting, all is wanting; its personal magnetism is the conductor of the sacred spark that lights our atoms, puts us m human communion, and gives us to company, conversation, and ourselves.
