Into a world unknown,-the corner-stone of a nation!

Art is the gift of God, and must be used unto His glory.

Simplicity in character, in manners, in style; in all things the supreme excellence is simplicity.

One half the world must sweat and groan that the other half may dream.

I have an affection for a great city. I feel safe in the neighborhood of man, and enjoy the sweet security of the streets.

In December ring Every day the chimes; Loud the gleemen sing In the streets their merry rhymes. Let us by the fire Ever higher Sing them till the night expire!

The holiest of holidays are those kept by ourselves in silence and apart; The secret anniversaries of the heart.
