we should contract our ideas of education, and expect no more from it than it is able to perform.

Let us confess a truth, humiliating to human pride; - a very small part only of the opinions of the coolest philosopher are the result of fair reasoning; the rest are formed by his education, his temperament, by the age in which he lives, by trains of thought directed to a particular track through some accidental association - in short, by prejudice.

Society than solitude is worse, And man to man is still the greatest curse.

The world has little to bestow Where two fond hearts in equal love are joined.

Say not 'Good-night' but in some brighter clime, bid me 'Good-morning.'

When one by one our ties are torn, and friend from friend is snatched forlorn; when man is left alone to mourn, oh! then how sweet it is to die!

The most characteristic mark of a great mind is to choose some one important object, and pursue it for life.
