Love is the world's river of life

Education is only like good culture,--it changes the size, but not the sort.

Faith is spiritualized imagination.

The one great poem of New England is her Sunday.

Caution and conservatism are expected of old age; but when the young men of a nation are possessed of such a spirit, when they are afraid of the noise and strife caused by the applications of the truth, heaven save the land! Its funeral bell has already rung.

Nothing marks the change from the city to the country so much as the absence of grinding noises. The country is never silent. But its sounds are separate, distinct, and as it were, articulate.

The meanest thing in the world is the devil.
