May we so love as never to have occasion to repent of our love!
The thoughtful man becomes a hermit in the thoroughfares of the marketplace.
Ignorance and bungling with love are better than wisdom and skill without.
Heaven might be defined as the place which men avoid.
Whatever sentence will bear to be read twice, we may be sure was thought twice.
Let a man take time enough for the most trivial deed, though it be but the paring of his nails. The buds swell imperceptibly, without hurry or confusion,--as if the short spring days were an eternity.
