Some thoughts always find us young, and keep us so. Such a thought is the love of the universal and eternal beauty.

Thought is the seed of action; but action is as much its second form as thought is its first.

Every man's nature is a sufficient advertisement to him of the character of his fellows.

Or whipping its rough surface for a trout.

Keep your friendships in repair.

A life in harmony with nature, the love of truth and virtue, will purge the eyes to understanding her text.
