A really great talent finds its happiness in execution.

Talents are nurtured best in solitude, But character on life's tempestuous seas!

Wouldst thou ever roam abroad? See, what is good lies by thy side. Only learn to catch happiness, for happiness is ever by you.

There is a courtesy of the heart; it is allied to love. From its springs the purest courtesy in the outward behavior.

Is not the core of nature in the heart of man?

Every day look at a beautiful picture, read a beautiful poem, listen to some beautiful music, and if possible, say some reasonable thing.

Correction does much, but encouragement does more.
