Success for the striven washes away the effort of striving.

Not every truth is the better for showing its face undisguised; and often silence is the wisest thing for a man to heed.

Humble in a humble state and great in greatness, I will work out the divinity that is busy within my mind.

Every gift which is given, even though is be small, is in reality great, if it is given with affection

Time is the turning over of days, works change for better or worse.

Even success softens not the heart of the envious.

If one but tell a thing well, it moves on with undying voice, and over the fruitful earth and across the sea goes the bright gleam of noble deeds ever unquenchable.
