Tears are often the telescope by which men see far into heaven.

Leaves die, but trees do not. They only undress.

A man's character is the reality of himself; his reputation, the opinion others have formed about him; character resides in him, reputation in other people; that is the substance, this is the shadow.

The methods by which men have met and conquered trouble, or been slain by it, are the same in every age.

Success is full of promise till one gets it, and then it seems like a nest from which the bird has flown.

The world is God's workshop for making men in.

No man is more cheated than the selfish man.
