There are only two distinct classes of people on this earth, those who espouse enthusiasm and those who despise it.

Liberty is the only idea which circulates with the human blood, in all ages, in all countries, and in all literature - liberty that is, and what cannot be separated from liberty, a love of country.

There is no reality on this earth except religion and the power of love; all the rest is even more fugitive than life itself.

Poetry is the apotheosis of sentiment.

Mystery such as is given of God is beyond the power of human penetration, yet not in opposition to it.

The mind may be exhausted, but the language of the heart is inexhaustible.

Enthusiasm signifies 'God in us.'
