Poets alone are sure of immortality; they are the truest diviners of nature.

To judge human character rightly, a man may sometimes have very small experience, provided he has a very large heart.

A chord, stronger or weaker, is snapped asunder in every parting, and time's busy fingers are not practiced in re-splicing broken ties. Meet again you may; will it be in the same way? With the same sympathies? With the same sentiments? Will the souls, hurrying on in diverse paths, unite once more, as if the interval had been a dream? Rarely, rarely!

Thought is valuable in proportion as it is generative.

Remedy your deficiencies,and your merits will take care of themselves.

Punctuality is the stern virtue of men of business, and the graceful courtesy of princes.

Poverty is relative, and, therefor not ignoble.
