How slight a chance may raise or sink a soul!
The long days are no happier than the short ones.
Who can mistake great thoughts? They seize upon the mind; arrest and search, And shake it; bow the tall soul as by wind; Rush over it like a river reeds.
Blest is he whose heart is the home of the great dead and their great thoughts.
It matters not how long we live but how.
Respect is what we owe; love, what we give.
