Still this planet's soil for noble deeds grants scope abounding.

Death is a commingling of eternity with time; in the death of a good man, eternity is seen looking through time.

Everything in the world may be endured except continual prosperity.

There are but few who have ideas and are, at the same time, capable of action. Ideas enlarge but stymie, action enlivens but confines.

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

Man errs, till he has ceased to strive.

When ideas fail, words come in very handy.
