There is no surer mark of the absence of the highest moral and intellectual qualities than a cold reception of excellence.

Youth might be wise; we suffer less from pains than pleasures.

We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.

Respect is what we owe; love, what we give.

Poets are all who love, who feel great truths, And tell them; and the truth of truths is love.

Evil and good are God's right hand and left.

None but the brave and beautiful can love.
