In every parting there is an image of death.
The best happiness will be to escape the worst misery.
There is no sorrow I have thought more about than that-to love what is great, and try to reach it, and yet to fail.
So to live is heaven; to make undying music in the world.
Hold up your head! You were not made for failure, you were made for victory. Go forward with a joyful confidence.
A peasant can no more help believing in a traditional superstition than a horse can help trembling when be sees a camel.
