Memory is not wisdom; idiots can by rote repeat volumes. Yet what is wisdom without memory?

A spark is a molecule of matter, yet may it kindle the world; vast is the mighty ocean, but drops have made it vast. Despise not thou small things, either for evil or for good; for a look may work thy ruin, or a word create thy wealth.

Hope and be happy that all's for the best!

Let the misanthrope shun men and abjure; the most are rather lovable than hateful.

Many a beggar at the crossway, or gray-haired shepherd on the plain, hath more of the end of all wealth than hundreds who multiply the means.

Error is a hardy plant; it flourishes in every soil.

Lay not the plummet to the line; religion hath no landmarks; no human keenness can discern the subtle shades of faith.
