Yes, I could see these enormous elephants, whose trunks were tearing down large boughs, and working in and out the trees like a legion of serpents. I could hear the sounds of the mighty tusks uprooting huge trees!

How tranquil is a coral tomb, and may the heavens grant that my companions and I be buried in no other!

Anything one man can imagine, other men can make real.

We now know most things that can be measured in this world, except the bounds of human ambition!

External objects produce decided effects upon the brain. A man shut up between four walls soon loses the power to associate words and ideas together. How many prisoners in solitary confinement become idiots, if not mad, for want of exercise for the thinking faculty!

I can undertake and persevere even without hope of success.

What one man can think, another man can do.
