If youth be a defect, it is one that we outgrow only too soon.

Life is constantly weighing us in very sensitive scales, and telling every one of us precisely what his real weight is to the last grain of dust.

True freedom is to share All the chains our brothers wear, And, with heart and hand, to be Earnest to make others free!

And what they dare to dream of, date to do.

Ah, men do not know how much strength is in poise, That he goes the farthest who goes far enough.

It is the privilege of genius that life never grows common place, as it does for the rest of us.

And what is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days.
