In their daily life, all are braver than they know.

You must get your living by loving, or at least half your life is a failure.

We are always paid for our suspicion by finding what we suspect.

There is no beginning too small.

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this, or the like of this. I wish to live ever as to derive my satisfactions and inspirations from the commonest events, everyday phenomena, so that what my senses hourly perceive, my daily walk, the conversation of my neighbors, may inspire me, and I may dream of no heaven but that which lies about me.

Be resolutely and faithfully what you are; be humbly what you aspire to be.

As naturally as the oak bears an acorn and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done.
