Plunge boldly into the thick of life!

Every reader, if he has a strong mind, reads himself into the book, and amalgamates his thoughts with those of the author.

Rest not Life is sweeping by go and dare before you die. Something mighty and sublime, leave behind to conquer time.

It is in vain that a man of sound mind and cool temper understands the condition of such a wretched being... He can no more communicate his own wisdom to him than a healthy man can instil his strength into the invalid by whose bedside he is seated.

Experience is only half of experience.

To appreciate the noble is a gain which can never be torn from us.

The happy do not believe in miracles.
