Cultivate simplicity or rather should I say banish elaborateness, for simplicity springs spontaneous from the heart.

No eye to watch, and no tongue to wound us, All earth forgot, and all heaven around us.

I could never hate anyone I knew.

I have sat through an Italian opera, til, for sheer pain, and inexplicable anguish, I have rushed out into the noisiest places of the crowded street, to solace myself with sounds which I was not obliged to follow and get rid of the distracting torment of endless, fruitless, barren attention!

Take all the pleasures of all the spheres, And multiply each through endless years,- One minute of heaven is worth them all.

There was a little man, and he had a little soul; And he said, Little Soul, let us try, try, try!

How I like to be liked, and what I do to be liked!
