The better part of every man's education is that which he gives himself.

As one lamp lights another, nor grows less,So nobleness enkindleth nobleness.

A sneer is the weapon of the weak.

No man can produce great things who is not thoroughly sincere in dealing with himself, who would not exchange the finest show for the poorest reality, who does not so love his work that he is not only glad to give himself for it, but finds rather a gain than a sacrifice in the surrender.

To win the secret of a weed's plain heart.

Freedom is the only law which genius knows.

In the parliament of the present every man represents a constituency of the past.
