The worst way to improve the world is to condemn it.

Where doubt there truth is - 'tis her shadow.

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

Stars which stand as thick as dewdrops on the field of heaven.

Leave the poor Some time for self-improvement. Let them not Be forced to grind the bones out of their arms For bread, but have some space to think and feel Like moral and immortal creatures.

The hero is the world-man, in whose heart One passion stands for all, the most indulged.

Walk boldly and wisely.... There is a hand above that will help you on.
