Human success is a quotation from overhead.

Laws of Nature are God's thoughts thinking themselves out in the orbs and the tides.

Purpose directs energy, and purpose makes energy.

It is all a mistake that we cannot be good and manly without being scrupulously and studiously good. There is too much mechanism about our virtue.

A man's longest purposes will be his best purposes. It is true, life is short and uncertain; but it is better to live on the short arc of a large circle than to describe the whole circumference of a small circle.

Purpose, and to be thoroughly wedded to that purpose, is three quarters of salvation.

Curiosity is thought on its entering edge.
