The mind is the eyesight of the soul.
There are occasions when the general belief of the people, even though it be groundless, works its effect as sure as truth itself.
We, we live! ours are the hours, and the living have their claims.
No emperor has the power to dictate to the heart.
What's old collapses, times change, And new life blossoms in the ruins.
Life did not present its sunny side to thee.
