The foolish and the dead alone never change their opinions.

Sorrow is the great idealizer.

Greatly begin. Though thou have time, but for a line, be that sublime. Not failure, but low aim is crime.

Be NOBLE! and the nobleness that liesIn other men, sleeping, but never dead,Will rise in majesty to meet thine own.

Tyrants are but the spawn of Ignorance, Begotten by the slaves they trample on.

The first lesson of life is to burn our own smoke; that is, not to inflict on outsiders our personal sorrows and petty morbidness, not to keep thinking of ourselves as exceptional cases.

Light is the symbol of truth.
