Cultivate simplicity, Coleridge.

I am in love with the green earth.

Not many sounds in life, and I include all urban and all rural sounds, exceed in interest a knock at the door.

This very night I am going to leave off tobacco! Surely there must be some other world in which this unconquerable purpose shall be realised.

The measure of choosing well, is, whether a man likes and finds good in what he has chosen.

How sickness enlarges the dimension of a man’s self to himself!

No one ever regarded the first of January with indifference.
