Life is less than nothing without love.
Blest is he whose heart is the home of the great dead and their great thoughts.
Envy's a coal comes hissing hot from Hell.
The ground of all great thoughts is sadness.
We love and live in power; it is the spirit's end. Mind must subdue; to conquer is its life.
There is no surer mark of the absence of the highest moral and intellectual qualities than a cold reception of excellence.
